Disobey Stop Sign - Video Isn't Concise?!
Hey everyone,
Back in March I was pulled over for not stopping for a stop sign.
I was a little out of it due to some family circumstances at the time, but I was fairly sure I stopped.
When the cop pulled me over, he stated - "I just had a look at the video, and it's pretty bad" (all police have dash cams in my town).
I just received the disclosure, and there's a couple things that I have a problem with.
#1, you cannot tell from the video for sure if I stopped or not, because there's a snow bank that's blocking the view of the road before the sign, you can only see me driving from just before the sign, away - which means it's entirely possible that I stopped before the sign before continuing. This makes me a little bit annoyed with what the cop said during the stop ("it's pretty bad").
#2 (and this one really annoys me) - about 20-30 seconds before my car even comes into the picture, an suv literally drives right through the stop sign that is across from the one I was at, and the view of this is completely unobstructed, and yet the cop didn't bother pulling him over??
I am just looking for advice on whether or not I should try to contest this in court? If so, how would I go about it?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Jay
