I Went To Court Today

[ZAP]

Well done mate, EVERYONE should contest unfair tickets and it might make the police think twice about harrassing motorists.

It looks like your ticket was Pi$$off tax, as the cops could not pin anything else on you, so they tried the lame P plate displayed BS fine.

I have done it twice and won both times in court.

Agreed that they make it hard for the common person to fight their case.

It takes a whole day (usually) and you do not get compensated for it.

The best part is you get your driving record each time free all 4 pages of it

I was NOT nice to the police prosocutor and gave him heaps, made him look like a complete DH infront of the magistrate.

I also gave the 2 cops heaps as they wasted my time, but I did thank one of them for the use of their pen to fill out the court election after they wrote out the ticket.

Thanks every one for the feedback

The funny thing is at the start before the hearing the police prosocutor was telling me ''dont worry it will be over quick''

trying to scare me, and it ended up taking like an hour.

After I won it was so hard working out of there as I had this massive smile on my face.

Well done.

I hate it when a small minority of cops give the rest a bad name by doing these things just to increase their quotas (that supposedly don't exist).

In reality, the booking officer should have been reprimanded.  Not to mention the whole waste of taxpayer money to take the thing to court.

You're commenting with grammar like that?

Good work ypurv4 for standing up for yourself when you thought you were right. Everyone should do so instead of just rolling over so easily.

I admire anyone who is acquitted of any offence they did not commit but absolutely despise those who are acquitted of crimes they do infact commit.

You guys might like this story. Happened about 2 years ago.

Firstly, if anyone belonging to any police or law enforcement agency reads this thread please don't assume this is directed at YOU or your ageny!, this story is directed at a few individuals only.

Thursday 28 September 2004, at about 11pm I noticed 2 Police vehicles scream into my Street then Park right outside my house. 8 Policeman jumped out then ran up and down the Street. This was going on for about 30 minutes. I though it must have been some sort of Raid.........how wrong was I!

I became very curious, so I moved my car out of the garage and pretended I was going for a drive, as I was comming off the driveway and onto the Road, one of the Police Officers (the biggest one) stopped me and ordered me out of the vehicle, then the rest of the officers came running over.......but none of them came onto my property or even touched me. The officer called me by my first name and said I was in a lot of trouble.............WHAT THE F**!!, the police where there for me!

The officer then said that he knew my name, my car, where my parents and friends lived...............all about me, he also said that becuase of what I have done my Army Career will be finished also. WHAT THE F***!! I could not for the life of me know what he was talking about.

The Ofiicer then proceeded to say that if I don't stop text messaging his girlfriend then he would make life very difficult for me!!!!

Turns out that his new girlfriend was my ex girlfriend that we still kept in touch.

This guy was in his mid 40's, my ex was 23 (pictue home girl of the year 2003, look her up).

This Officer was really pissed off and I thought that him and his mates where going to jump me, I was by myself, I was absolutely sh***ng myslef.

For the next 15 minutes he rattled off all this information about me and family and continued to threaten me, then at the end he said that it was all off the record and his visist was only a friendly warning and not a threat!............yeah right

The Officer and all his mates finally left, I was left there dumbfounded. Not sure what to do, I drove to Adelaide's main 24 hour Police Station in the city and spoke to a Senior Sergeant, his response was "tmaybe you should not have been text messaging this girfriend". This is crap.....

Next day I called my friend who works in CIB, he made me come into the station and submit a statement.

1 Year later I receive this letter from the Police Commissioner of SA (Mal Hide), he apologizes on behalf of the SA Police and said that this was an isoltaed incident and that the matter was fully investigated and found the Officer to be gulity. The Officer has been demoted to constable with no chance of a promotion ever, also a $2500 fine.

Turns out that this guy was the Senior Police Driver Training instructor at the academy and brought along a whole bunch of recruits with him. Funny thing was that all the recruits made statements against him because they actually had no idea what was going on. His excuse was that he used my house as the starting point of the night driving exercise and happened to bump into me. he actually tried 4 times before that but I wasnt home. he wasnt actually my ex's new boyfriend but he wanted to be and thought by harrassing me would hopefully let him into my ex's pants................what a loser! and he never did sleep with her.

Some people think I should have taken this further, but I reckon he has been humiliated enough.

Sucked in Mr Senior Constable, woops I mean Constable.

What a farking nob.. Sucked into the wa*ker.. Off the record hey...
