Reply To: Have you ever received a traffic ticket that you did not deserve?

I got pulled over while driving with my wife. Cop says we weren’t wearing seat belts. In fact we were. We went to court, hoping somehow we’d get lucky. We didn’t. Cop showed up and lied through his teeth. Cost us almost $400 and I think some points. Welcome to traffic court, where you are guilty until proven innocent.
How insane is this system that with no evidence but the cop’s word, you get fined hundreds of dollars?
If there had been an anti-cop riot going on then, I likely would’ve considered joining in.
