I was convicted on one persons opinion and nothing else, then told to stop talking and leave or be found in contempt of court.
EDIT: One of the loacal lawers just called me back. He told me that the judge for traffic court is a retired judge subbing for the normal one. He was not surprised at all, and told me that the judge does what he wants and does not care cuz he is retired. He told me that I will have better luck at the appeal with the other normal judge who should actualy do his job.
I still find this to be BS! How can they let a judge be up there who does not care about the law and could give a shyt about who he pisses off as long as he gets a laugh with his golf buddys? Is the court system just a joke even to the people who work there? OMGWTFail

Northern VA is really bad about this kind of stuff. I'd recommend getting pre-paid legal and just waste the officers and the courts time. Get the ticket, call prepaid, paid the minimal fine. Go have fun. They are just trying to generate $. They say BS, but they got caught lying about it 3 years ago when they tried to enstate the law that if you're ticket for 20 over, you have to pay that fine for 3 years straight...They denied it over and over and over, until the dumbasses finally had to admit that it's convicting of the same crime more than once. Then they had to repeal the law and pay everyone back that had been doing it. Their reason, 'to build revenue". So I say play the game too. I waste more $ in the few hours in the court room to addres a stupid muffler issue, cause it must be evil, and life threatening, and harming people than the **** tard officer makes all week. So, Piss away his time and keep him from doing anything real with his job....This is why I left the PD; full of some of the dumbest, Jack-moles. Badge envy is the issue....
Then again, keep in mind these are Troopers we are talking about, not your local PD. And not every Officer is a total Douche bag.
