There was another thread a day or two ago as well. I must be really jaded at this point because I'm just not surprised or apoplectic. Maybe, too, I think it's a case of a single individual flexing his perceived authority and not a system-wide acceptance of such abuse. It's wrong, proper action as been taken to correct it, and hopefully the judge will be removed as well as any other players keeping it going. |

I see. Then we'd be following Louisville...
Now, when I get a speeding ticket, I don't contest it if I actually was speeding. But I was doing 45 in a construction zone on the Watterson a few years back and got pulled over for 55 (I was being passed by big trucks). So I was going to contest it until I found out that in Louisville, if I contest a ticket and lose I could end up owing almost a grand instead of the $160. Research on the net showed that in Louisville traffic court, very few people successfully contest it. I consider that highway robbery, and I consider the city of Louisville to owe me $160 plus the time I spent going to their "diversion" class so I wouldn't get my insurance rates jacked. Feh. |

Not many who contest anything in traffic court are ever successful. |
