I do not deny that as I said in my initial post. However, I did have a reason albeit doesn’t justify it. It’s not the fact that I got the ticket but the abuse in the judicial system in handling it.

Aside from just being a decent person, they are public servants/workers paid by the people. I dont’ treat strangers like that.

That’s fair and I understand that but even the court officers who direct traffic are like that. Also, there’s a diff between pulling over a guy vs being in a random court room and dealing with a guy that has done absolutely nothing. Treating them like snot is just unecessary.

Exactly.

> Shawn, thats complete crap on their part. all parties should be separate, like the judge, the arresting officer and such. either way though, they end up doing pretty much whatever they want to and as of late they seem to do things that just generate more revenue for them at whatever cost.  
> the whole points thing is crap now. i remember when i had a “disobeying a traffic controller device” ticket, which is like running a stop sign and stuff and it was only 2 points. somehow miraculously its 4 points now. a 100% increase for no reason.

Reason = Money.

I don’t expect you to given you can’t get a job at Lids in the mall.

We have the right to a fair trial and to confront the accuser. Both were not offered to me. People have died for hundreds of years for these basic rights. I don’t get why you can’t comprehend that.
