Well if anyone has been keeping up with the situation I had received a ticket back here, well it didn’t really work in my favor. Though a very precious lesson was learnt for me today. The law system and judicial system are completely full of shit.

In my previous post I wrote:: if I had realized me doing wrong, I would’ve rightfully owned up and just paid the ticket. In this particular incident I felt harassment was in tow. Well the judge seemed to have had sense… yeah right. He swore me in and the hearing began… First the officer/sheriff state their side, because “they have a burden of proof to show to the court”. After he stated the incident it was then my chance to explain my side. I agreed with every word of the sheriff except for a few key facts!

• I was sitting at the red light, the vehicle was not in motion.
• It was pitch dark, 2AM, the cop was acute enough to see that eye-wear was not worn while passing me at about 50+ MPH?
• If the law, verbatim states, that it is the law to wear eye protection and/or helmet while a motorcycle is being used in motion. Tip: I wasn’t in motion… I was at a red light!

After I stated my side the judge asked straight out, so did I have them on when I was riding the cycle? I stated yes. He then asked where is my proof?! I asked if the officers video surveillance tape could be brought forth. He replied, “I won’t waste my law men’s nor this court’s time for such a small fracture.” Some system… so in short I took in that the officer’s proof was the ticket and by that I was instantly guilty. The lucky part, I guess, is that I wasn’t fined any further fees for court. Overall I’ll be paying our, law system, $77.50. All for nothing… so this is my way of ranting and officially saying, “Suck Me Law!”

Really…
