(Earlier post-neighbors dogs)
I asked our D.A. about a citation that I received in a neighboring county.(Probably ten years ago) Here was his advice. Pay the fine. "When I get a citation on my desk, I believe that it was warrantied. If I do not see anything wrong with it, I forward it to the court. The judge believes that I have checked it over and we do not have to prove anything. It is your word against ours. Then he added, " And I need to maintain a relationship with these officers."
There was nothing about right or wrong or even about JUSTICE in his explanation.
So anytime you need to deal with law enforcement, you need to be sure to get THEM to believe you and win your case before it ever goes any further.
