Yea this in spades. The dregs of society getting away with all kinds of crap and mouthing off to the magistrate to boot.

In all other prior cases, including one careless driving citation for blowing past an unmarked DPD in the mousetrap in the rain, I lawyered up with someone that golfs with some of the traffic court ADA's and would just postpone until he found a buddy teed up, paid a hefty fee but got off either scott free or 1 pt headlight violation and no insurance increase.

Last time I rolled the dice and skipped the lawyer (he had gone up to like $800 or so). 30MPH over at DIA coming into the parking/pickup/dropoff split on the west side where it drops to 35, in a truck. It was dry. Mandatory court in Denver. Never got to speak with the ADA. Magistrate said he offered (as I recall) 6 points reduced to 4 and a $350 fine. Insurance got jacked during the next renewal. I should have not dressed nice and talked back, probably would have dropped it to 2 pts and half the fine.
