I cannot ridicule OP for his decision, it would be tough for me not to do the same, but 20+ is a lil rough

Like silver said, we get the excuse almost bi-weekly. It almost makes you seem cold that you don't really believe everyone now... even so, there isn't much they can do when they arrive.

If it is more than 21 over, I will generally cite... tell the driver to meet me in court with the discharge paperwork... if he takes me to court and has the paperwork, I won't look at it (always concerned I might be violating some type of HIPAA law).. I just inform the judge of what the documentation is and let him take the civil liability lol...

I guess if he had a buddy who is a nurse, he could probably falsify it, but if he wants to go through all that trouble of purging himself and lying under oath to get me OT and have me dismiss his ticket... more power to him. One good thing about FL is the SA/DA does not really intervene with traffic. The officer has the freedom to request a dismissal in court and a judge very rarely ever questions it.

..Regardless, no one ever took me up on that offer... so I guess you can do the math.
