My question involves a speeding ticket on military reservation in Michigan. An attempt to defend against a US court ticket issued by the 127th Wing Security Force on Selfridge ANG Base, MI. resulted in a freedom of information act request which revealed that this agency had intentionally violated 31 USC (traffic control on military reservation) and AF military regulation. Records confirmed that at least 6 years of " pacing" tickets were issued for speed violations when the agency knew its vehicles were unable to display an accurate speed and no certification tests had ever been performed on these vehicles. None were police packaged vehicles.
This unit issued military citations to active duty personnel in the same manner.
For six to nine years nobody fought the citations. All either paid the citations ( Michigan points ) or entered a court plea of quilty which avoided higher fine and traffic points. The law enforcement people were not present in court and a hearing would require a second date in front of the US Magistrate.
The investigation requests and evidence of these wrongful acts were sent to the Chief Judge of the 133 US Court and the US Attorney Office. There was a military investigation which revealed a second confirmation of the above allegations.
US attorney answered with "each defendent pled quilty" so there is no real problem, thought corrections were made in procedure by hight base authority.
In short, what should have been done to make defendents "whole" as far as License points .
Second thought is about "legal stop" and uncovered evidence of criminal activity based upon a stop which the officer knew was improper. None of these situations will ever be addressed as the pubic or representing attorneys know of the situation. Nobody wants to publicly talk about the nine year situation. The news papers aren.t interested.
I feel badly for the large number of people wrongly cited, had points received on their license, or perhaps had police reports generated from a lie citing paced speed as the reason for a "lawful stop".
What could have been done for this situation??????
