I've read the thread to date. I've read everyone congratulating you for your diligence, your efforts, and even astounded that this bugger is a police man. I've even read the predictions of your getting the charges dropped re: Proof of insurance.

I'm going to go the other way. I bet the Judge takes the Cops word, no matter how worthless it is, over yours and finds you guilty of both charges. With a lawyer, you have a slightly better chance, but to prove that you showed him your card on the phone, you'll need the tape from the car, presuming that there is one. To get that, and get it introduced to evidence, assuming the Judge will view it, will take some legal maneuvering.

It isn't enough that the cop is a lying bastard, and the record shows it. The Judges automatically believe the cops over the citizens, no matter how many citizens all swear they saw the same thing.

I am not so optimistic about the judge amending the speed to 70. Gravitycollapse Jul 2013 #13

from experience if you just use facts the judge should drop the insurance ticket loli phabay Jul 2013 #14
