I've trained with many of Richmond SPCA's trainers and a behaviorist and found them all to be extremely knowledgeable. After my experiences with multiple different trainers there, I'd trust any of them. It looks like now they even have a class for managing reactive dogs, which would be perfect for this situation.

I plead guilty to a similar reckless. The judge asked the cop if I was doing anything irregular other than speeding, and I wasn't. She dropped it to improper driving. She seemed in a good mood, though, as everyone's reckless before me was getting the same treatment. Depends on who you get.

If you're young and it's a first offense, it may be dropped to a regular speeding charge. When I was 21, I got a reckless ticket for 68 in a 45 in Goochland. No lawyer, and it was dropped to a regular speeding charge as it was my first offense. I definitely haven't sped like that since (I'm 29 now), and this was a different county than you. Worth noting that speeding/reckless charges aren't really a one-size fits all deal, though.

If you have other speeding charges within the last few years, it could stay as reckless, but who knows. Good luck, and slow down out there.

I haven’t been there for anything but their techno/dance music shows and it’s always been a ton of fun. Crowd is passionate and the music is bumping, can’t complain. There is one this Friday with a few very talented dj’s

Yeah, I agree. Y’all haven’t lived in small small towns where kids have nothing to do so they end up in even worse situations than “going to the movies.”

I also don’t like the wholesale removal of certain age groups from general population areas. There’s something a bit dehumanizing about it that rubs me the wrong way. I definitely think that people are entitled to adult-only spaces in certain circumstances, but in general I think a big part of being a human is being in communal experiences and dealing with behavior some of us might find frustrating and figuring out how to most effectively deal with it. I have asked, politely, for kids and teens to stop xyz.

But yeah, 15-16 year olds seeing movies at 8:00 is harmless. There’s still Regal, but Bowtie is the theater most easily accessible by public transportation so it’s gonna be the most difficult for kids and families who live around there. Who aren’t always the wealthiest.
