Today, the traffic court judge didn't believe my three witnesses and two security cameras that proved I was innocent. He claimed a cop would never lie, and that the dashboard security cameras, which the cop brought in, were somehow edited by me. I was fined $1,000 and my license was suspended. FML
thelistman tells us more.
Also, for the whole story, I had three other people in the car with me when I was caught "running a red light" by 2 cops who were both behind me. I was clearly in the middle of the intersection when the light turned yellow. I have a feeling that the judge was in a shitty mood that day. This was my first ticket I've ever received, and I've been driving for seven years. Even if I was guilty, I don't know why my fine was $1,000 with a license suspension when the original ticket was $75, and no other tickets on my record. This judge is going down.

I am about 90% sure that the judge is sleeping with the cop.

Oh wow that really sucks. You should apply for an immediate appeal and find yourself a decent lawyer.

Yeah well, traffic court judges are usually kind of pissy because well, they became a lawyer and all and now they're stuck dealing with traffic tickets as a career
