OHHHHH...I thought you wanted me to bring my laptop To "court".  I couldn't understand why court would want my laptop?  | ||

Thats only "if" the judge will allow you to take the time. I was talking with a cop buddy today about a divorce case. Husband was on the stand and giving his side of the divorce case. My buddy was court duty that day and was positioned behind the "judge". He said the judge was looking up vactions spots on google. Didn't even care about what was being told on the stand. I had the same judge handle a court problem for me-- he also never paid attention. --- Ways to make the officer look stupid. Pull up history for that day about sunset time, weather, etc etc. Then since the ticket is based on them verse you. Question the officers memory. Ask them what time the sun set that day or the weather temps. If its a speeding ticket and you've went to school for ultrasound ask them simple physics questions about the speed of sound in air and angle of deflections etc etc. | ||

Imagine being prosecuted for a crime that didn't (or shouldn't) have existed. Imagine the prosecutor doing more to destroy what was supposed to be protected trying to build a case against you. Imagine a judge ignoring the law while hearing your case. Imagine winning, yet still losing. My one, and hopefully only, court experience. | ||

I just don't understand todays justic system. Was it ever fair? do other countries have a better system? What needs to take place is - everyone should demand a jury trial. Everyone also needs to actually to take part in the jury system. Then "we the people" can control what happens to us "the people" | ||

If you want to be judged by a bunch of "peers" who watch Oprah and have nothing better to do than sit on a jury, you go for it. I'll take my chances with the judge. My only recent experience was going to court after getting a ticket for 75 in a 45. Met with the prosecutor, who said "you weren't going that fast" and knocked it down to "unsafe speed". $35 court costs, no fine and no points. I was a happy boy  | ||

I know next to nothing about the 'legal system.' That being said I just spent 4 days (first time) doing my civic duty as a juror. I watched, and watched, and watched, as the defense attorney dumbed down the selected 12 -- why's that? No, honestly, I don't get it. I didn't leave this civic duty with a warm fuzzy about the selection process. The judge spent the first 2 hours of each day wrestling with his WiFi connection and paid zero attention to the proceedings. Whacked. G2 |
