Especially in Georgia where the smaller jurisdictions don’t have real courts for traffic.
They have “kangaroo courts” where the arresting officer is the prosecutor.
My first experience with this was hilarious as I asked the judge if the “Prosecuting Officer” (his term when I asked where the prosecutor was) had a law degree and was a member of the Bar. He replied that the officer was an “Officer of the Court”. To which I replied no, your honor, the officer is a member of the Executive Branch - the bailiff is an Officer of the Court.
To which he replied: You can take your case to state court where a judge and prosecutor will hear it.
No thanks. If you do that, they can actually put you in jail for speeding.
I was hauled before a “Justice of the Peace” at two AM and fined for 40 mph in a 35 zone in a south Georgia town that had one red light. Luckily I had $50 cash on me..................I swear the Dukes of Hazzard must have been based on this town..............
