The other is reasonable suspicion, which is what he's going off of in your case. Basically he's going off of the fact that A) You drive a truck with offroad capabilities, B) Your truck is covered in mud, and it's probably fresh, throwing off your story of getting it somewhere else. C) Your friends are back there, on private property, still tearing it up. You don't have written permission, which the law clearly states you must have, so he writes you a ticket. Don't listen to these idiots telling you to fight it; it's not a moving violation, at worst your out a little money - much less than it would be to pay court costs and retain an attorney.
