I just had a ticket dismissed despite the fact the trooper lied under oath which caused me to have no argument so I then had to just beg and plea for a dismissal which got me the dismissal but landed me in driving school. Never tell a copy “I’ll see you in court”…he had time to prepare a lie against everything he did wrong so now I had no way to interrogate him..and if I had done so..I would have just been calling him a liar in front of the judge. I was shocked…all while he stared at me with that look on his fact like “I got ya…how you gonna argue that”. Cops like that are all the reason people hate them. In my case this was a win-win for that county. I get to pay them $64 b/c its not a complete dismissal in exchange for no points on my record…and that young cop probably got to party the last weekend with his friends for Halloween b/c he fullfilled his quota for the month by giving me the last ticket statisfying quota before his party weekend. It’s a shame these cops are under so much pressure to issue tickets that they would lie under oath and besides he shouldn’t have given me the ticket to begin with considering the facts. Bad judgment on his part…shame on him. As if life isn’t hard enough with health issues, family / friends issues, work issues…we got to worry about dishonest cops paid with our tax dollars to protect and serve trying to collect more tax dollars for an over spending fun vaccum of a government. If the state needs to cut jobs b/c of the deficit…so be it…when one door shuts another opens. People will find a way.

This is theft plain and simple,they know taxes are not coming in like before so instead of sharing some of the pain with the rest of the community that they so called serve they resort to nothing but licensed thuggery.

To protect and to pick your pockets.

Funding for the enforcement initiative was provided through federal highway safety monies.

Funds generated from summonses issued by state police go directly to court fees and the state’s Literary Fund, which benefits public school construction, technology funding and teacher retirement.
