    Yeah, you're right I wouldn't be eligable for legal aid, but I would like to make a point. The time off work is a problem, as is the stress involved which I could do without!

    Thats what they play on; the average punter has to get time off work, explain everything to the boss, take leave whatever. The cop just turns up and gets paid. Most people can't be arsed with the aggro and simply roll over and cough the cash whether they're guilty or not. It's the easy road. If you're not guilty, fight it.

    another video from my (the bike) perspective....traveling 90-100km/hr Patea to Waverly SH3. The car pulls over where I stopped the bike to speak to the officer.



    Another interesting note is that the ticket is written out as being SH3 between Kohi Rd, where as where he would have seen me was SH3 near Ihupuku Rd.

    Or doesn't withdraw the charges, doesn't turn up, charges are thrown out and there are no consequences for them personally. Something is very wrong with this picture...
    If it wasn't for a concise set of rules, we might have to resort to common sense!

    I've had that happen to me and while I was pleased to see a relativly minor thing get chucked out you have a point. I doubt the copper (traffic it was, ages ago) faced any action for wasting my time and the court's.

    Sorry, didnt read the whole thread. Ask to see his evidence. If there the evidence is damning, ur fucked. If there's no evidence, tell him you are going to write him a letter denying it, then you are going to deny it in a court of law if you have to, and then walk out and go back to some interesting thing you were doing. Don't negotiate. Don't plead. Don't argue.
