I was a State Trooper for 4 years and worked undercover narc for 8. About half of the perps lied under oath it was not them I bought from. When I did traffic I had several sit there and say straight faced it wasn't them but their brother or sister had their drivers license and seeing as the case comes to court several months ( and sevarl hundred violators ) after the infraction if they have a lawyer or the judge is a nut you have to be asked can you verify it is the same person and the show begins.
I can see you have not had much experience with the lower parts of society. They lie just to lie.
As for witness it is common in Texas if the officer cannot witness or prove you were driving he cannot cite you. I also have experience with this trying to arrest DWI suspects that wrecked a car and left the scene before anyone arrived.
I guess the left coast does it different.
In LA....if you are caught street racing, you lose your car.....confiscated...and sold upon conviction.
Wasn't always that way; up until about eight years ago, CHP couldn't use radar for speed enforcement, as the California courts felt it was too unreliable. That was before the Democrats' domination of the Assembly and the regime of "Red" Davis.
This thing costs $6,000 a month? That's $72,000 a year, why not just hire more cops?
And of course police officers never lie.
Well that confirms it for me.....Congress IS low society!!
