Based on this ruling, I have the right to get credited with full payment of taxes by paying whatever I feel is fair.

Coming soon to state/county/city/town near you.Saw it in a South Carolina traffic court back in 1989. Officers are trained to detect speed by sight. If they've been certified, you don't stand a chance.

So now you are guilty if the cops THINKS you did something wrong.Nope. You are guilty if the cops SEE you do something wrong. Big difference.
