I guess evidence counts for nothing in florida traffic court. Here is the scenerio i.e.. my rant and boy am I pissed. My wife was pulled over going 46 in a 30. She had just pulled out of her work parking lot. We go to court today and here is what happened.
Firstly the cop states it is a commercial area with high business and the traffic is moderate at lunch hour. He states that he caught her speeding going around a curve and then passed the road where my wife comes out of. Upon questioning he stated he was about 250 feet from this road. I brought pictures showing the building my wife works and the road she comes out of(the road the cop had her passing). When asked how she could have hit 46 mph in about 2 feet he starts to stutter. I then showed with a mathematical formula that a car going from 0-46mph in a 2004 chevy aveo would travel 932 feet before it reaches that speed. However, the cop already admitted that he was 250 feet away and could not answer how she was speeding 46 mph when she pulled out(5 speed stick aveo at that). The judge turns around and states the officer is certified and his gun was working properly so she is guilty. ***. It does not matter what evidence you bring to court here you are already guilty the moment you walked through the door.
On another note. Another guy was pulled over for passing a school bus. The guy states wait a minute it is 5 pm and there was no bus there. school let out nearly 3 hours earlier. He then states the cop told him he looked like he could afford a ticket which I believe. The verdict: guilty. Every single person was guilty. When I left people were shaking their heads. Now to appeal it will cost me much more in fees to appeal the ticket than the actual ticket fine but they can kiss my *** cause I am going to court. I hate scams.

) asked to see the maintenance records for the radar gun. Since the cop didn't bring them, the ticket was cancelled and the case dismissed.
but I digress). People who have had past points due to tickets fight so they don't get additional points and have increased insurance rates or so they don't lose their license. 
you're married to one, aren't you?
Heck, no, I know a former trooper though. He's actually now an officer in DH's agency. He still misses the hat. So yes, DH is in law enforcement, but he is not a trooper.
