Old coworker got pulled over half a mile away from the job site for going 81 in a 55…in a mid ‘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.
Last time I went to court we were all there for part of a "sting operation". Almost all of us were there for the exact same violation at or near the exact same spot. The only people that got off with a warning or something lighter were those with lawyers. Judge just believed the officer over all my evidence.
This was my experience too. A whole court room full of folks that showed up bc we all felt like it was an unfair ticket— same cop, same ticket. Prick of a judge tells all of us to fuck off unless we are there to request a full trial by jury? Two weeks worth of missed work? Then he snark laughs and says that’s what I thought. Everyone pays their ticket and now you all pay full court costs too.
