Need help with probate in Georgia?
I wanted to fight a traffic ticket that I believed was unjust. I was told by the prosecutor that I'd be able to explain my situation to the judge. I was given no such opportunity unless I interrupted the judge, and I wasn't going to do that. I was offered driving school and had my fine reduced because it was my first offense, but I NEVER got to tell the judge that there wasn't a speed limit sign on that road. They pretty much did all the talking and had complete control over the conversation and situation. Yes, they were nice but also stern. Yes, they were lenient and reduced my fine and let me take a driving course. But NO, they didn't let me get a real word in otherwise!! The prosecutor circled guilty on my paper and handed it to me to sign while I was in front of the judge. I felt like I to just had be quiet and sign it so I don't make a scene. This is quota collecting at it's finest. I will NEVER forget this!! I no longer feel safe around whitfield county sheriff officers knowing this. This is organized government nitpicking and using authority to take money from people.
Traffic court is rigged against you. They don't tell you if the officer doesn't appear and even though you say "not guilty" and try to explain, the prosecutor pretty much forces you to plead guilty and hands you a paper with "guilty" already circled. You have to be nice and presentable while they can be rude and not care. I'd love to file a lawsuit against the court but that would probably be rigged as well. I also noticed that the people who were in court were from the lower class and couldn't afford to pay their tickets.
Usually not a fun place to visit but the law enforcement and clerks are friendly and helpful
