What's the alternative? Pass a law that says you can't defend certain charges because they're too little? What happened here is that a cop did something chickenshit. Maybe there are other facts we don't know, but that's the way it looks to me. |

The New York City Supreme Court is the trial court of unlimited original jurisdiction, but it generally only hears cases that are outside the jurisdiction of other trial courts of more limited jurisdiction. It exercises civil jurisdiction and jurisdiction over felony charges.

Wow
Are you seriously arguing that citizens shouldn't stand up to government injustice? Where do you stand on Japanese interment? There are over 40,000 military style swat raids on private residences per year in this country. When they smash tear gas canisters through your window, bust down your door, and possibly shoot your family members because they read the address wrong, we'll see if you just bend over and take it 'cause you don't want to challenge the government.
When the civilian defence force is turned against the people as a weaponized municipal revenue generation mechanism it is important to stand up and fight back at every turn. It is indisputable that the tax payers ultimately are paying the cost of the legal process, but it comes out of the city budget. Just because the tax payers payed into the city budget for a year doesn't mean spending that money causes higher taxes next year. If every $65 ticket written ends up costing the city $10,000 to pursue in court they will be forced to re-evaluate their priorities, and just maybe police will be asked to start catching crooks again, instead of spending their time targeting mostly law abiding citizens who's only infractions are violating arbitrary parameters set by politicians who have no particular expertise in any field.

Injustice is injustice. What's so special about you that you get to decide how much injustice is too much? This guy thought $65 is too much, and I agree with him. I don't have the means to fight it when it happens to me, so I support those who can. But, you're done on the subject. Every police department in this country's primary function now is collecting revenue for cities and municipalities. ...But you're done on the subject. You have enough time to write I'm wrong on so many levels, but not enough time to say how... OF COURSE you're done on the subject. Go live in your fascist little fantasy world and stop hating on Americans who want to live with a little freedom. |
