[QUOTE="Chesterton, post: 74706126, member: 225709"] I got a petty traffic ticket, and the only reason I was driving there at that time was because I was doing a good deed for someone, so it made me mad and I want to fight it. It was one of those camera-enforced tickets they* send in the mail for making a right turn on red without [U]completely[/U] stopping. I mean, that's what I did, but that's not what the video/computer actually cited me for. The citation has language about "entering an intersection". My state law has a legal definition for what an intersection is, which includes that it's where "two roadways intersect at an approximately 90 degree angle." It uses the word "approximately", which is bad law writing because it shouldn't be that vague. The angle looked bigger to me than the accurate info you've given me, so I was considering arguing that that place is not an intersection. :) If that sounds like a weak point, it is. It's my weakest point, but I have three other stronger points. I just thought I'd throw everything but the kitchen sink at them. There are actual stakes involved, unlike arguing on CF. :) * Interestingly, the "they" that tickets you with these video ticket schemes is a private company, not the police. I never knew that.
