Sucks regardless, because more people are seeing that the police are lying on tickets and the judges will go with the cop 99.999% of the time, unless it was a completely incompetent mistake they made that the ticketed person gets off.
FOR EXAMPLE.....
I had to go to court for my son yesterday because of a 'fight' he got in at school. A girl said "I ought to hit you"....he said "do it" from his seat...in class, in front of the teacher. Girl hits him and he gets up to straighten her up (he's the smallest kid in his class). So the teachers drag HIS behind out of the room. Now he gets a 'ticket' mailed here for "harassment".....fast fwd to yesterday....cop comes in and is talking to one of the people from school. I DISTINCTLY hear her say "are you going to help me LIE about this".......now, I'm about 8 feet from her when she says this.
Needless to say, I'm losing my faith in the saying "to serve and protect".....more like "i'm above the law mutha fukkaz so deal with it". Granted its not all of them, but until you show me that this isn't happening and personal integrity is being upheld, then I'll keep my feeling the way they are.
As for the OP's ticketed issues - you can get them head on with VASCAR (radar). You must get questioned the calibration date and how it was calibrated (and the technique - some use a 'tuning fork'). Of course they'll say it was calibrated before his shift....so ask for the paperwork saying he did it as verification. Otherwise its just 'his word'.
Yeah, I too have had a few trips to traffic court....
