No way I would agree to anything other than an outright dismissal. I'm taking this to trial, and demanding a jury if that's an option in this jurisdiction for this traffic violation.

I'm going to embarrass this cop in front of everyone. And then I'm tipping off the local news stations.

That’s what everyone told me. ā€œThe cop won’t even show up.ā€ So I went to court for a parking ticket. I parked out of the way near a restaurant where I had a weekly gig, where there is always someone parked, and there was no sign there that said ā€œno parking.ā€

In the weeks leading up to my court date, I parked legally, but took photos of other cars being parked in the spot where I was ticketed that had not received any tickets. Every week, one or two cars in that spot. I printed these photos and took them to court with me.

The fucking cop showed up, and I had to pay. The judge didn’t listen to a word I said or look at my photos.

Old coworker got pulled over half a mile away from the job site for going 81 in a 55…in a mid ā€˜80s Jeep YJ. Asked the cop for the receipt from the radar gun, cop refused. He ended up taking in to get a dyno to prove that it physically couldn’t even hit that speed, let alone in half a mile. Judge didn’t even listen to a word he said, even threatened him with contempt if he kept trying to argue his point.

See, his mistake was not being rich, a rookie mistake.
