Corrupt System

The town that I reside in has created an awful fiasco, that would make Boss Hog from the original Dukes of Hazard cringe. Every income tax season the police department give out tickets the way Saint Nick disperse presents before Christmas. They seem to believe that this is the only time the city can make money. The problem is most of the citizens are innocent. This was a problem before the Daunte Farrow case. I wonder where was the NAACP was at that time. Of course no one sees the them during the Daunte Farrow case but that is another story. The police department always leaves a paper trail in these sitations. For instance. I recieved a speeding ticket last year. The police officer claimed I was going 45 mph in a 30 mph zone. He even wrote the area and time on the ticket. The problem is the ticket shows that I was going 45mph in a 45mph zone. In that area the speed limit is 45mph. A mile behind me the speed limit is 30. I presented my case and even had the audience on my side. I brought pictures to court and guess what! I still lost the case. I asked the judge why. His comment " I just believe the officer". The officer wrote on the ticket where he clocked me going 45mph. Since he wrote the incident on the ticket, it showed that in that area the speed limit was 45mph. In other words he left a paper trail. I still have the ticket. So how could I lose in court. I had to pay 180 dollars that day.
