In Colorado, if ANYTHING is "typo'd" on a ticket, its viewed as inadmissible and tossed if contested. If that "cop" had said what he said in a Colorado courtroom, the judge would have stopped the proceedings right there and dismissed the case there and then.<br /><br />Great read on a (at that time) slow fare evening while staging at a starbucks (free wifi rules!). Of course as soon as I got to reading it, the bells went through the roof and I was, as you say "back to work". lol. <br /><br />Looking forward to the continuing saga, and of course the blog in general!<br /><br />Rollin' in Denver.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21486842.post-25507792325535153782010-08-17T15:54:41.966-07:002010-08-17T15:54:41.966-07:00I wish you the best of luck in your quest to dispr...I wish you the best of luck in your quest to disprove the "you can't fight city hall" adage.<br /><br />I agree with aburtch about skipping the first paragraph. It's not relevant to the case and the judge will likely have little interest. It's a separate issue that I hope you pursue. <br /><br />It's criminal the way they try to intimidate and shake down people while denying them due process.<br /><br />A fly in the ointment may be that you were stopped in the street for a red light, where it is not legal to "park". If you had seen the couple flag you and pulled into a parking lot to load them, I think you'd have a better case.<br /><br />Lastly, a couple of typo's that I noticed. They may not even be in the copy you'll have with you before the judge, but thought I'd point them out for correction.<br /><br />"Before I begin my testimony your Honor, I feel as though I it is..." <br /><br />should be changed to "Before I begin my testimony your Honor, I feel as though it is..."<br /><br />"...the Officer rounded the corner from westbound Carson, seen that I was loading..."<br /><br />Should be changed to "...the Officer rounded the corner from westbound Carson, saw that I was loading,..." <br /><br />Again, best wishes and I'm rooting for you.

You've clearly outlined why it is that you are innocent.<br /><br />Having had experiences with judges and lawyers myself, my only comment would be to strike the first paragraph completely or move it to the end. If you lead with your complaint, it gets you off on the wrong foot and the first impression the judge has of you is a negative one. <br /><br />The judge knows all about the system and doesn't care. He/she only cares about moving trials along as quickly as possible, and there is nothing they can or will do about the state-sponsored extortion. If it were me, I would omit that portion all together in hopes of having the judge's full attention on the facts of the case at hand.<br /><br />That said, good luck!aburtchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09387990995340709326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21486842.post-25263180121985323812010-08-16T03:48:21.082-07:002010-08-16T03:48:21.082-07:00You're killing me.
