I went to court yesterday on this matter.
What an eye opener.
10:30 start I got there at 10:30
I sat at the back and just watched how it was done.
People talked to the DA and automatically got reduced fines to plead guilty.
I did not know that I was supposed to go up and tell them I was there
but I heard my name mentioned so I went up.(all before judge entered)
She asked what plea I had I said not guilty. She said have a seat.
Court started.
Cop asked to talk outside I said ok.
She did not like my pictures but agreed that there was no red circle sign with slash on the street.
She tried to get me to plead to some bylaw charge with no record.
Then when going back in she said what do I want to do? I said see what the judge says.
They call me I say my name the DA says "charge withdrawn officer present no evidence"
Total time in courtroom 18 minutes.
Not sure if it was long weekend hurry-up but I won hehe.
Cheers
