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

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.

you can make more than $1000 for selling the story. Any European/Asian/African/Australasian/South American paper would LOVE this story too. Also, does that not mean the witnesses were perverting the course of justice - presumably they'll be punished too if you were in fact all lying

Appeal, AND go to the media; ensure the judge knows about their interest in it.

If what your saying is true, it's not uncommon for a judge to be crooked to get more money for the town or get kick backs for giving fines that steep.

That is why we have an appeals process and the Supreme Court. Met one of those judges once. The state Supreme Court reversed the ruling. He looked like a dumb ass in front of the entire judicial system. Keep pushiing.

This is crap. How could a judge - on the record and in full public view - accuse a defendant of editing videos from a police car camera. This is pure fabrication.
