On 7/29/2007 - I got the ticket 30 min after midnight. ( I have no previous citations or car accidents in entire lifetime , and I did not run through the red light )
In the Court - I plead NOT guilty
Trial Continuance was granted 3 times
When I brought the witness on trial 12/3/07 with me who was in the vehicle at the time of alleged violation, the prosecutor offered me Court Supervison.
The judge told me, I can plead "NOT guilty" but 'based on assumptions what would happen IF we would go to trial, she could stipulate I would lose the case ( just like that ) , so she could enter 'not guilty' but find me 'guilty' based on such stipulation.
I had no chance for trial, so officer got off the hook without proving anything. I really was heart broken. There is no justice here.
I was ordered to pay $255 on 12/3/07 and got 2 months to pay out.
- officer's citation did not have clear location ( I could nor read excatly where he said it happened, 6 people who tried to read it could not figure out excatly what 2 streets he listed on citation )
- The police department have never gave me any paperwork, such as policy for giving citations, notes if he had any, or any thing I could use.
- after my witness was announced the 1st time, suddenly his witness "materialized" from nowhere next time.
Is there anything I can do about it? I have very little time to act. Please advice. Or should I simply stick with Court Supervision and write offical complaint to his Chief of Police, and to Mayor of the City to tell about his attitude, and me ending up with citation, supervision and $255 fine for something I haven't done, and I did not deserve!
Thank you.
