1964.

Had my 57 Corvette impounded for drag racing and reckless driving. Three days later, my lawyer got a judge to release it back to me on the grounds that there had been no hearing, and I hadn't been found guilty of anything. This was the same lawyer that went to court for me several times, each time saying that reckless driving has seven separate sections, and that no one section had been specified. After about three months, lawyer calls me in and says if I will plead to speeding 40 in a 30, the whole thing will be dropped. Done and done. Laws have likely been changed in the 50+ years, but a good lawyer can sometimes work wonders.
