Well i could have been taken into custody by the town of Vienna and yinz would not even care! not one expression of concern for the outcome of my case???
As it turns out, i have a plus 5 driving record, which is the best you can have, and because of that, the judge reduced the fine to $50, and suspended it so i only have to pay court costs. No idea how much that is, bc the computer system is down state-wide and i was not able to pay on the spot, but it is undoubtedly significantly less than paying the ticket would have been which was $150. I am grateful to the cop for suggesting i show up, bc i had no idea it worked that way. the judge was actually nice and quite good at what he did, i was surprised bc i figured traffic court for just crap judges and personnel.
I’m sorry but I can’t be associated with a known criminal..... I had to wait for the final results. ;^)
LMAO
Since you didn’t mention it, I was afraid to ask. ;-)
sort of like the pool of potential SCOTUS nominees from Obama.
Congratulations on your victory. My husband “showed up” in traffic court on a bogus charge once in an adjacent town in TX and ended up paying the fines for everyone whose cases were dismissed, or had their fines drastically reduced, as he was the “outsider” and had the temerity to wear a suit when everyone else was in dungarees.
Another time in the ill-named Liberty, KS he was driving back to school at Northwestern with 2 friends when they were caught in a speed trap. They all were held in jail overnight. The judge asked how much money they had amongst them and collected it all, leaving them only enough for gas money to get to IL. Gas was 25 cents a gal. in those days, so he didn’t leave them much. No credit cards in those days either.
