Man, traffic court sucks. Wasn’t so bad that I had to fight my stupid traffic infraction at 7pm on a Wednesday night. Wasn’t even too terrible that I had to sit there for two hours before they even got around to me. The worst thing about traffic court is the plain lack of respect they have for you. You’re expected to bow when you enter and leave for crying out loud, but the court doesn’t respect you.
I watched three cases with the Prosecutor constantly rolling his eyes at comments, smirking at plaintiffs’ evidence and generally hamming it up. I guess when you work the night court, those are the skills you bring to the table. The only people with a bit of class were the Constables.
Oh well, one thing I learned for next time: you stand a much better chance if you’re a pretty girl capable of turning on the tears. That’s the law for ya. —Pumplestiltskin

You received an infraction and you argued it? Apparently you lost this round … er, actually you lost twice.
My personal time is worth ahelluvalot more than the price of a traffic ticket….. pay up dink!
Fuck you OB — now I have the night court theme song stuck in my damn head!
some of those sheriffs are hot and really really large
You chose to break the law, you chose to go to court to protest your innocence. You chose to waste my tax payer money by exercising your right to fight your ticket.
Well stop wasting my tax money!
If you do the crime, pay the fine. Don’t make me pay for your mistake.
I’m sure you’ll be crying the same river when it’s YOU getting a wrongfully issued infraction and want to contest it…. douchetwister.

FUck all of you asses.
There is NOTHING that says a cop giving you a ticket means you have broken the law & have to pay.
A ticket is just ‘ Their Opinion ‘ you have broken the law ,by law etc.
Which is why we have JUDGES.
You go to court & contest it, because you are fortunate enough to live in a society with the right to defend yourself & all persons are suppose to be innocent UNTIL PROVEN guilty.
No where does it say a cops opinion trumps your rights.
I have won a case in traffic court where my almost 300.00 ticket was canceled & I was free to go. The cop made a mistake & if he had of been reasonable when I pointed it out to him, he wouldn’t have ticketed me in the first place. Seems the judge agreed, or I wouldn’t have walked out free & clear.
The prosectors are smirking because they’ve heard all the same bullshit excuses. If you are innocent and properly prepare, you can beat the charge.
hot damn, I agree with More…
there’s a twist I didn’t see coming.
I say run it like Ukraine government…
you say something stupid, I run up and punch you in the face, inciting a brawl….
and out comes the tear gas again….

I am known as the fat Ally McBeal. I REPRESENT in court. I was arrested thrice and those charges never stuck. Ya wan know why? Cuz I was prepared, bitches. You show up and go on the stand in your thug uni and have nothing to say but the drone of your own voice, ya get nowhere. You can pray the po po don’t show, but you got ta REPRESENT. They tried to nail me for runnin a stop sign. That shit was covered by a tree branch yo. I researched stopping distance relative to the posted speed limit and took pictures of that shit from 3 yards back. Them bitches never had a chance. The crown can eat it.
I have taken the last three tickets I got to court, and due to the lazy ass cops not showing up have been found not guilty. There’s your waste of money INFY, stupid cops too lazy to follow through with their responsibilities.
Score: me-3 Lazy ass cops-0
PS; I love asking questions while the cop stands in the rain and explains the answers to me.
Yeah, I do the sherriffs…
And just pay up – you fucked up, own it!
You stand a better chance if you’re a pretty girl in just about everything in life.
pumplefforeskin, or whatever, i have driven over 50 years, and have gotten oly 2 tickets in my life, one for parking overtime, the other for flying too low, without a pilots license.
