<VV> Intent or Not

[Dave Keillor]

Speaking of "intent".  Was it the officer's intent to lie (ignore truth) or did he simply make a mistake?

Paul, Seth, Joel, et al,
 
Where I live, N Ctrl FL, cops and judges BOTH not only ignore intent, they also ignore TRUTH. I was "clocked" on a four-lane divided highway in my red '89 Mazda pickup doing 59 in a 45 mile zone one lunch time, except I KNOW I was doing 45. I saw the patrol car long before I was anywhere close to him and watched my speedometer all the way from a start at the stop light until I passed by him and it never exceeded 45 mph. It was the dark blue Ford 350 alongside me in the passing lane that was passing me as we approached the patrol car that was doing 59 and thus deserved the ticket, not me. But neither the cop nor the judge would give my argument any credence so I ended up paying both the ticket and court costs totalling almost $200. The only good part was that because I took it to court, with the cop's approval, the judge ruled that I'd get no points on my CDL-A license.
