The judge did, and that's a fact regardless of

what twist may think.

Instead of the "He said she said" game, cite it, show it, prove it or
not.

Did the judge make an

error in dismissing the case, maybe. The

person never did tell me the exact reason why
the case was dismissed but from their

recollection of the events in court it seems it

was due to the officer littering as well.

Once again, an act that has no relation to another's act can not be user
as an excuse or defense for the original person and their actions.

I've been to traffic court myself once or twice

for tickets and I've seen people have tickets

dismissed even after admitting they did it with

a reasonable explanation. One thing you'll find
is no case is ever a slam-dunk, the judge has

a lot more latitude in what they can do than

you may think.

I never questioned their latitude.

The last ticket I got was for sliding in to the

back of somebody's pickup truck on a snow

covered icy road one night.

You banged up several vehicles, did you not?

The officer that wrote me the ticket "advised"

me to take it to court, which I did, and the

officer didn't show so it was automatically

dismissed. How nice of him not to show up.

That's what happens when the state fails to prove their case.
