Hi Everyone, :rant:
Last night i passed in our municipal court to contest a stop sign ticket. I brought pictures and a witness stating the officer in question did not see me stop, as i did 1.3M from the line. From his view (5M from the intersection with a 130* Angel) He could not have seen me stop due to there bieng obstacles in the way.
The "Judge" didnt seem to be open to any type of reasoning, and would seemingly taking side with the procurer. The pictures showed clearly how the officer could not see me, and the witness voiged that i had stoped 1.3M (5feet) from the line.
I mentioned to him "La loi exige qu`on arrette AVANT la ligne darret, sans mention dune distance appropier".
Le juge me reponds: "Mais si on ce fis au monde "Normal" , ons dois arreter le plus pres possible de la ligne darret"
I objected and said; " En cours, on ce fis a la loi et non ou gens "Normal" , en plus, Une distance de 1.3M me permets de voir si y a un autre vehicule a lintersection."
Then he said; "...Ons en parlerais pas plus..." and did not aquite me from the fine...
I find this a rather unfair scenerio, given that i DID stop, had a witness to prove it, And pictures to support my case... With no avail.
Here are the Pics i braugvht to court;
NOTE: it was 10h30 at night and very dark + I have one burnt headlight.
This is the view of the Officers car, Parked 5M from the intersection; with a 103* angel on the stop.
This is where the Police officer was parked; 5M from the intersection.
This is where I stoped my car; 1.3M or 5 Feet from the stopping line. (Seems far in the picture - 2D)
This was my view, stoped 1.3M - Looking in the direction of where the officer is parked.
What can be done? I am outraged....*banghead*
Thanks.
