You should send this to local media.
I'll ask again...What were you charged with?
Didn’t you post this a couple of days ago?
Try sending this to the AZ attorney general.
deja vu
So I see this is all MADD’s fault?
State Attorney General.
Badge-lappers on deck in 3... 2... 1...
Why not mention the county? That would help us all. They can’t make it any worse for you now.
I’ve been mistreated and wrongfully arrested by a police officer myself...i don’t just discount these stories...anybody in a position of power is capable of taking advantage of their position. Most police are good officers but there are always a few bad apples in every group
Post this in Personal, not News, by the way.
I spent a more than 30 minutes searching the web for anyone else with a similar story and I came up with nada even though there were “law” sites which discussed tickets in Mohave County. By the time I came back to the thread it had been “zotted” by the admin for “baiting”.
Sounds vaguely like an episode of the Rockford Files where the mayor/cops/garage owner had a scam going where they would arrest and charge good “marks” for some crime. The “marks” would pay and go or be blackmailed.
There are little fiefdoms out there and if/when one of them is exposed, it is better for all of us.
Talk to the FBI. Or better yet, the DoJ. They might be ready to take a bite out of anything Arizona and will set up a sting. Not that I oppose the new illegals check law - quite the opposite - but if this went down as you say it did, that sheriff needs some great vengeance and furious anger directed his way.
Call the FBI civil rights division for that juriadiction and the jurisdiction where you live. Thugcops periodically try this garbage. The FBI takes it seriously. Esp given what’s going on re Arizona, the ones in Nevada almost certainly will.
Thugcops do get arrested and go to jail over these scams (assuming everything you said is accurate, and I have no reason to doubt you).
Many Good cops and many not so good cops. They are pressured to get their quota of tickets and make revenue. I have personally been ticketed by an absolute crooked cop, I was pulled over only because I was driving a black Cadillac with out of state plates. My son was following me and were were driving in the right lane with traffic passing us. Cop said I was 23 mph over which was a total lie, I was not over the speed limit and even saw the cop driving on dirt road before pulling onto the highway. Cop Followed me for a while and pulled me over about two miles past the spot she said she was speeding. I was so pissed I went back to state and to court...judge sided with the cop.
Any cops on here??
You should tell your uncle about this. Do not worry about his recent loss. He should know about this. He should contract his local state legislators. At times when I was living in Florida and Alabama, the state legislatures revoked the incorporation of two cities, one south of Orlando and one west of Mobile, for running speed traps. So the legislature in Arizona could act against this county, if there is a pattern of this. Your uncle should also contact the officials in the county in question, including the Sheriff but also the Chair of the County Commission or whomever it is.
Sounds about right.
Sounds an awful lot like Russia. I’d say you sue them in Federal civil court...and see how they like it.
