I Fought the Law

Jesus broke the law. So did George Washington. You did, too, and we want to hear about it.

You CAN Fight City Hall

Up +585 Down

I got caught for speeding through a very effective speed trap. I decided to fight the ticket in court, since if you show up, they usually knock a few bucks off. But I researched my case and found out that the Department of Transportation didn't fill out the proper paperwork to establish the speed limit, so it was actually the City in the wrong. I presented that to the Judge, who didn't know what to do... I was obviously in the right, but he didn't want to set a precedent. So he eliminated my fine but still found me guilty. I contacted the City Attorney to try and get it expunged from my record so my insurance didn't go up, but they ignored me. A few months later, and the City is looking at a class action suit from everyone who got caught in their illegal speed trap.
