The verdict is in
Back in October, I was cited for running a stop sign. I won't post the details, but suffice it to say the officer was over zealous, and the circumstances were odd. So, for the first time ever, I decided to dispute the charge. I filed a written declaration (meaning I pled not guilty, then chose to voice my side in writing versus appear before a judge). I was told that if I appeared in court and agreed to pay the fine, that it would be reduced. Fight the charge and lose, however, and the fine would stand in full. I really felt the situation was inappropriate, so I decided to tell my side. Today I got the court's response.
Case: dismissed
Penalty: zero
Right flippin' on.

YAY! Way to go & good for you for standing up to the MAN - or however that saying goes....
Good for you!! Cops are not allways right. I too went to court on a speeding ticket and the cop did not show up so I didn't have to pay. If you are in the right you have to stand up and be heard!
YAY you!!
Treat yourself to a little something with part of the money you would have spent on that ticket :o)
Let's hear it for truth, justice and the American way. Congratulations, Lois Lane! You are an example to us all. Not sure how this would travel in the Land of Oz.
