You should know: I respect the law and don’t claim to know ish about much of our due process system. I try to do my best and read up on what I can, follow the rules, you know, not be stupid and cause myself more problems and cost myself more doe. But I realize I am unaware of mucho. Nevertheless, I also believe in showing mutual respect. Some law officials seem to have a stick up their butt and sometimes abuse their power. But most are coo if you’re coo to them. It’s all about respect. Don’t be an ass to them and they won’t be an ass to you. With this known, read ahead.
Word of advice….even if you go about things in the proper way, getting documents, being respectful, talking to other officers for advice, all in an attempt to learn about our judicial system and current police speed monitoring equipment better, if a judge is a grumpy piece of turd, you’ll get the worst fine he can give you. He’ll call you out on the slightest of misunderstandings by you, which is his job, obviously. But he’ll do so in a very snide fashion without any discourse to help further your understanding of where you went wrong as a newb to this kind of stuff.
He’ll also not give you the respect of looking at you while you or he speaks. Oh, and don’t think your squeaky clean driving record means anything. All it means is he has the power to diminish it and will do so without any sound reasoning. Bitter. Bitter. Bitter Pepper.
Thanks a lot Judge A. Hole from #YoloCountySuperiorCourt Traffic Division. Understand the decision with the fine, as I expected the worst there, even if it was cooooold bloooded. I figured I could get punished through increased fees for trying to get my ticket lowered by providing facts about lidar systems and human error possibilities. Forgive me for being curious and attempting to use our court system for what it’s there for. But not allowing me traffic school? Wow. That’s just funkin’ uncalled for and, well, just plain ole’ mean.
There goes my clean driving record of 10 years. And there goes my insurance rates…up, up and away. If the dishonorable Judege A. Hole was trying to teach me a lesson I did learn something. I learned that he is a total butthole who doesn’t even acknowledge when a citizen is only trying to go about things in a legit fashion to learn and utilize the freedoms we have as Americans. I mean, the guy didn’t even look at my evidence. He just pretty much ignored everything I had to say because he already made up his mind.
The bottom line is there is room for human error with the device in question. But did he hear that?? Hell nah!!! He literally told me this is the price I pay for trying to represent myself. Wow. Sure, I get that it’s not the most effective method and my argument was probably filled with “ums” and holes. But it’s a traffic ticket. Forgive me for not hiring Johnny Cochran’s ghost. Geez. Just ridonkeylips.
You know, I get that judges have to put up with a lot of bull. They have to hear the same crap people try to pull over and over and over. I can see how irritating it must be. I also comprehend how much more they know about this stuff than the average Joe, aka muah. There’s no way I’m going to prove him wrong. But you know what? Gimme some respect for going about things in an honorable way. Don’t take out your bad day on me. It’s not my fault you’re job is lame.
You’re getting paid by us, the people, to give us a fair shake. So stop being little baby pissy pants because you didn’t make it to the Supreme Court. There is no reason I shouldn’t have been allowed traffic school. That was his call to make since I waived my right to it entering his court room, which I respected. But I figured there would be some level of mutual respect and understanding as long as my argument was valid, had some sort of evidence and went about things legitimately. How wrong I was.
Me attempting to do what I did should not be looked at so negatively. Even the cops there said he was in a bad mood and it was cold he denied me traffic school. I gave him and the law proper respect and received none by him in return. No respect. Straight Dangerfield’ed me.
People are people. We all have our days. But leave that shiz at tha door….And now my bitching stops. 🙂 Have a good day everyone. Just pay the ticket. It’s not worth it.
