RE: Ask a Police Officer Thread Ver. 2
So, earlier this evening, I was cited for running a stopsign. I looked at the ticket, and the intersection he wrote on the ticket doesn't exist. The two streets exist, and are relatively close to eachother, but they never intersect. So, I'm thinking I can go to court with a map and say I clearly couldn't have run that stopsign because it didn't exist. Do you think that's a reasonable tack?

Depends on the judge but I think it's worth a shot.

Does that mean that a judge could actually fnd me guilty of running a stopsign that doesn't exist? And if I am found guilty in court, would the fine be larger than if I had just paid in the first place?

Just a heads up for local residents of Montgomery County MD and those who pass through it. A new speed camera is operational on Bel Pre Rd around the Homecrest Dr area. Speed limit is 35mph if you go 10mph over, 40 dollar ticket. Locations of these cameras are available on the net, the van locations change daily.
