Only it was a squad car speeding up the 826. Found out they were doing this 20 or 30 or more times a night and most people would pay the $290 and accept the points on the license.<br />I showed up in court and the butch female trooper did not. <br />But I am sure it would have gone the same way as yours did had she showed up.<br />saludos,<br />raulitoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-20402461720714766412013-11-13T23:06:21.459-05:002013-11-13T23:06:21.459-05:00Yep, something in the sidebars is slow loading and...Yep, something in the sidebars is slow loading and forcing a refresh of the page.

The Palace of UNJUSTICE....<br />Not sure about the translation but the main idea is that it's like a lotery and that you're at the mercy of a good or bad judge....<br />A question of «luck».... <br /><br />In Canada, the justice system is not much better too... <br /><br />We have a famous case here, this year, were a father killed his two cute children... He said he was intoxicated and in a bad psychological state.... HE WAS LIBERATED... After few months in a psychiatric facilitiy....<br /><br />JUSTICE.....

Some judges are biased in favor of the police; a few for the defendants. (There has been a notorious case in Boston of a judge who almost never convicts a drunk driver, no matter how strong the evidence. The judicial discipline system did all they had to in order to avoid finding any misconduct.)<br /><br />The way I've put it is that our court system is a game the lawyers* play for fun and profit. Justice is irrelevant.<br /><br />*Judges are lawyers, too, so they're also playing the game.naturgesetzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15268507379933286863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-87917544783719817302013-11-13T12:59:06.377-05:002013-11-13T12:59:06.377-05:00Just reminds me that ours is not a "justice&q...Just reminds me that ours is not a "justice" system but a retribution system.

I know the bond and lawyer would cost a lot but how much will paying the ticket and the increased insurance rate (for years) likely cost you?
