UNIT 5302,
Thought id fly in again.
Para #1 Other than you flaming me, where did I disrespect anyone or treat them unjust? If you want to change Tennesse law, move here and vote. My deparment can adopt a right to see the radar unit, but they do not. The side of the road is not the courthouse, respect or not. When did I say I was upset?
Para#2 Judge not siding with officer? Did you realize what you just said? I am a (Professional Witness) Not only do I testify for the state but also in civil matters unrelated to persons I have traffic with. Not giving the tie to the officer would be deadly. I could see where a janitor might not be able to testify in a traffic violation, questioning radar. But that same janitor would be called as a proffessional in his field of service. I do not see a point there.
Para #3 I can not change the constitution.
Para #4 I just do not understand anything in it.
Para#5 What you call inexcusable bias, again goes back to Para#1 I am a professional witness, not only on radar but many other areas also. I do agree a lawyer in traffic court is probibly a waste of money. It is easier and cheaper to ask the any officer what might happen in court. Remember this is traffic court and not General Sessions or Circut Court. You can appeal your ticket to the higher court for a trial, but if you lose, you pay alot more court cost. I have yet to go to any trial on a citation.
Parar#6 I can go with that. May vary a little with different lawyers etc..
Para#7 Generally true. Although I have the last word on what I do. Nobody can change my decision except the court. People in the city can change what type of persons the department hires, but almost never do. I guess you mean ( Exercising your rights) you mean voting? and not asking about radar.
Last line: Thanks for the toast.
I entered this thread to shed light from "The other side." I do not think anyone on this site claims to know everything about anything. I simply stated what goes through MY head and others close in my job, for everyones benifit. I never post anything flaming anyone else for what they know to be truthful to them, somthing not wise for me to do. When anyone starts flaming they tend to lose any credibility in what their argument is about. Thats why I do not flame, I really do not care about getting flamed.
I do not get ticked off at anyones opinion or beliefs. I simply take it in to figure out people, kinda fun.
The best part about it, I can feel the love
