Hella pwnitfied my case today in court.

[Sircnay]

Today's little fiasco:

The officer gave his story about how and why he pulled me over. Then I cross examined him and it went something like this:

"You were pacing me correct?""Yes.""And for how far?""About 1/2-1/3 of a mile." "Do you have any records of your speedometer having been calibrated before that night?" "Yes.""I mean do you have them now?""No.""Your honor, I'd like to motion for dismissal, the officer doesn't seem to have enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that I was speeding."

The judge denied my motion and I stopped questioning. Then I brought out a map of the area where he pulled me over on. It measured out to be a little over 1/4 mile around 1800 feet. That is nowhere NEAR 1/2 a mile.

So I explained to the judge about how I didn't think that it was possible for him to catch up to me, pace me and then make room for braking.

Then he questioned my friend who was there. The scary thing is as soon as she mentioned "He had a fresnoracing sticker on his car." The judge stopped her and asked what kind of car was it (nobody had a copy of the ticket there, not even Mr. Po-po.) and I freaked out because he hadn't asked any of the other witnesses about what kind of car it was in the cases before mine, and all of them lost their cases too.

When we finished he announced me to be guilty for speeding and I told him I'd appeal because he should've dismissed the case when the officer didn't bring his records of calibration.

As I went to the clerk's window she told me that the Judge changed his verdict and decided that I was not guilty and I smirked.

End of story.

Cliff notes:-Denied dismissal-Got named Guilty-Got name not-guilty after i threatened to appeal.

The end.

[nismofly]

well at least your out of it. thats pretty cool...the judge probably didnt want to have to do any more than he already was

[Altiman94]

nice work dude.

[Sircnay]

I had actually written a motion for dismissal but it "mysteriously" disappeared...

[JustinStrife]

The question now is...

Were you really speeding? lol

[silkk]

Good job! I think.

[nismofly]

dont i remember you saying you were doing like 52 in a 50? and that you told the cop off because he had to meet his quota? or was that somebody else...

[Sirikool]

I'm mostly for the cops, but that is a GOOD A$$ STORY. Is this for reals???

[Wraith]

Good job , personally cant stand the cops'/troopers in my area either

[PalmerWMD]

Good job!

[cnickk]

very entertaining i would like to thank you

Hopefully the cop isnt butt hurt and will try and find any reason he or she can to give you a ticket. This happened to me, but then I filed a complaint with the police department saying this cop is waiting for me to leave my house for work and follows me when I get off to try and give me a ticket. 3 weeks after I filed the complaint I was never bothered by the police again.

Nice read and good job. Hopefully you won't get stalked like GoinBoostYey.

[Sircnay]

Well it helps that I've been studying Amjure Prudence of the Constitution (sp?) and focusing mainly on traffic laws and such for the last year and a half.

My motion "mysteriously" disappeared from my computer before I could turn it in and I was too lazy to get another one out so I just went in fists blaring.

Good times though.

Thats awesome Chris. You need to teach me some of this stuff

[wangless]

I had the samething happen to me about a lighting violation. I was still given 10 hours of community service. Thats good you got it dismissed.
