Usually they know eachother and just bullshit and "yeah yeah...okay sounds good". $300 later with a nod and a handshake they drop your charge down. Our legal system....for traffic anyways is all garbage.
I was at court for a reckless driving (over 80) in virgina on a highway. The guy before me was there for reckless driving on a motorcycle...which caused an accident. He had a lawyer and walked out with a $700 fine and supervision.
Me...no lawyer....$1800 fine and 6 month suspension....with a lying cop who changed around everything from what he told me when he pulled me over. Thanks great legal system.
