Won my stop sign ticket case this morning!!! (Posts on 1/18/09 and 1/23/09) The City Attorney had a pre-trial conference with the officer and then me. He offered a "deal" which I declined. He then said he would dismiss the case because he didn't believe he could win. Said I was getting the "Well prepared Good Citizen" break. I'm glad I didn't need to act like a lawyer. Overall, I am confident in my skills but I was damn nervous. Great feeling walking across the parking lot to my car - a couple of fist pumps.
The real question is, did I really win? Three trips to court, a few hours taking photographs, more hours preparing and a real change in my driving behavior begs the question, who won? All this has eroded my scofflaw standing.
