So, I just called to find out how much that traffic ticket is gonna cost me: $420. FUCK.
I am SO fighting this one. That bitch of an officer is now saying that I flat out passed a bus on the street. Nevermind that the bus was on a different street than the one I was on, no, she told her Captain that I passed a bus on Trinity. That is a flat out LIE. But of course, it's my word against hers and I'll lose, such is the way of traffic court. Four hundred and twenty fucking dollars for the coffers of the City of Decatur.
For something I did NOT do. I did "pass" a bus on a side street. I've admitted that openly, however, I did NOT pass a school bus on the street I was driving on. That officer is just being a bitch because she knows that I'll lose in traffic court. She doesn't remember, but that won't matter. I'll be $420 poorer and I'll get whatever points on my goddam license because of her. This totally BLOWS.
I think I'll write a letter to the Mayor. Why not? It's not like it'll change anything, but at least I'll feel better. City of Decatur: guilty until proven innocent. Fuckers. Maybe the gods of traffic will give me a citizen friendly judge and I will prevail. Yah, I'd say the odds of that are 10000 to 1.
I've got my statement ready. I've got a copy of the traffic code. I'll have pictures. I'll lose anyway, but I'll go down fighting. FIGHT THE MAN! FIGHT BULLSHIT TICKETS!!
