Scary.. we agree again.

Just an observation; correct me if I'm wrong, but that's how I read it.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner!!!

In California, the district attorney must be the authority, by law, to prosecute for any infraction that results in a fine. The traffic court system is a sham designed to increase revenue. He has been able to get the tickets dismissed due to the system not following the rule of law. Most people don't know the procedure involved and believe that it is a court of law, it isn't. It's a revenue collection system, that's all... The "judges" don't like to dismiss due to improper procedure, but
the laws put in place must be followed by both sides. Use the system to fight the system.

If it was important enough for them to cite someone for speeding or another violation, then it should be important enough to follow the law and hire as many assistant district attorneys to properly prosecute, but if they did this, they would be spending all the money collected on fines on A.D.A. pay. The city or town won't get as rich so they allow those who know what to do to be dismissed due to procedural misconduct by the court system.

This all started because a CHP officer arbitrarily claimed that my buddy didn't stop behind an imaginary line at a stop sign on a dirt road. He claimed that he stopped past the point he was supposed to. The CHP had a bad attitude towards him so he promised the cop that he would do all he can to fight and win and make it a point that the traffic revenue department will no longer make money off him or anyone he knows. The cop told him "good luck. I haven't lost one yet." So far so good. And this guy is the most mellow guy I know. He's an older man with a family and only gets upset when those in power abuse that power.

Traffic laws and mechanisms ( yeah I threw that in) not primarily driven by revenue?

Seeing red, ticketed drivers sue NYC over brief yellow lights | Reuters

I bet they don't discriminate either

Motorcycle only checkpoints outrages national lawmakers | Clutch and Chrome

or violate freedom of choice.... anti cell phone laws ..why are YOU being penalized for some other idiots inability to talk and drive at the same time?

Helmet and seat belt laws.. Your body.. Your choice

Even exhaust laws are particularly discriminatory against motorcyclists. Whether a vehicle such as a Semi or even a plane needs to be as loud as they are is not the issue, the issue is they are given a pass when it comes to decibel laws ( with the exception of a few dinky ordinances.. no Jake Brake and such. Latitude is also given to trash vehicles. snow removal equipment and such. Save me the speeches that they are necessary .. trust me, your friends as Noise Off and groups like them don't care, they was ALL noise ( except of course what THEY consider acceptable stopped and fined to death.. no ulterior motives there.. but the states don't care for they have a seemingly easily target... the weakest of the herd as it were. Cash Cows too rebellious by nature to learn, and always trying to work around the laws that confine them.. a few hundred years ago we would call such men and women patriots ...mmmm my how times have changed.

No offense taken, some posters here have said worse.
I respect anyone who's worked in various fields; that is a sign of intelligence.
I'm one of those too who worked in various fields; two of those requiring state licensure.

I really don't know how fast I was traveling; the PO says I was speeding. My mind was on the meeting's agenda. This guy really got me off my zone; i have a difficult time taking off again; it choked the first time I tried to take off.

However, I have to admit, my R1200RT is awesome. That sucker can fly!

Went to Municipal Ct today to meet with City Attny on citation today for pre-trial hearing (without an attny).

While waiting to be called, they called me out of the blue, took me to the side and was told the judge is dropping the charges. BOO-YA! I walked out a happy man. Everyone else can plea "guilty," suckers!

Now, if only Houston can beat the Patriots; Losing 14-0 just in the 1st quarter. Damn.

Wow..I am suprised, that would never happen here..our legal system is obviously more corrupt than yours..

Let's forget the yelling part.

The fact is there are policies and procedures that law enforcement and municipalities must follow, just like you do at your job. Once you are issued a citation its just a matter of educating yourself; you will see holes in how they do things.
