Was it a real judge? I missed the start of the story...or was it one of those administrative adjudication things they have set up in NYC and other places to rob you of your rights to a fair hearing and the presumption of innocence? You are treated so much better in Nassau County....I've gotten 2 red light tickets in my life...once in NYC where on the corner of Beverley Road and Ralph Avenue, instead of looking for criminals, a cop car was hiding out and I entered the intersection while the light was yellow...this slimeball comes racing out telling me I had passed a steady red and gave me a ticket. I went back to where he had been hiding instead of doing his job, took a picture to show he could not possibly see the color of the light when I entered the intersection. Therefore by signing a summons that he had personally observed the supposed infraction, he had committed perjury. I showed the picture to the administrative adjudicator and this slimeball said he had calibrated the light both before he started hiding and after he wrote the summons....guilty said the judge (despite the obvious perjury in signing a summon saying he had witnessed an infraction when he could not see the light...Contrast that to a situation in Nassau County several years earlier. There, I believe it is so today, traffic court remains traffic court. Before the start of the session, I met with a District Attorney...after listening to my story, he said he would plea bargain the charge down to an equipment violation. I would pay a small fine but it would not go on my license. I agreed to that and that was the end. Obviously a much fairer system in Nassau County than the garbage in NYC where you are guilty as soon as you walk in the door. |
