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're lucky that you weren't sentenced for being stoned to death for shape-shifting into three different witnesses programmed to lie for you. Conjure up the $1000, warlock, and pay.

i swear, i think half the submissions on this site are too sketchy to be true, but on its face, this one takes the cake. total crap. it requires the complicity of the entire police force, the courtroom attendants, the bailiffs, the Sheriff's deputy posted in every municipal court, the court reporters, and anyone else in the room who happens to be waiting for their spot on the docket. you can do better than this, thelistman.

No really... the judge just has to say he doesn't believe the evidence... the other don't really get input into that final decision.

If this is true, FYL and appeal it-you shouldn't have to take that crap from a judge. If this is fake, YDI for having no life and sitting on your computer making up false FMLs.

Cops do nothing but abuse power, murder, and lie.

Please cite specific examples for all police officers, or STFU shit-for-brains.

This story would be much more interesting if the OP would explain what he was charged with.

I read this, thought "that wouldn't happen" and then saw you were from Illinois. Suddenly, it all makes sense. I bet Blago got your judge his position....

The smaller the town, the more power the cops and judge have. Now that you're on their list, your life is ****** until you move. :/
