Honest to Gawd this Happened

Many years ago I got a speeding ticket, and decided to fight it. On my day to appear in court....Los Angeles Municiple Court a case that was ahead of me had a Black man representing his wife who was not present.

His arguement went like this..My wife was on her way to the airport to pick up my mama, who was coming in from South Africa. Ted Kennedy had to help to get her a visa to enter the country... and she was in a hurry.

The Judge...Well why do you think the officer stopped her then...

Defendents Husband... He wanted a piece of Black Meat....

Oh you should of heard the groan in that court room, especially from the Black folk....

Judge...Guilty...Next...


The officer in my case didn't appear...so case dismissed....

a few years ago, i ran a red light, because some homeless man stood in front of me picking up an imaginary quarter in the intersection. i thought the cop was being unreasonable, so i took some pictures of the homeless man mumbling to his penis, and various intersection shots. i had never been to traffic court in cali, so i decided to sit in on the session right before mine. during roll call, the crowd answered with the most bizarre responses. the last man, answered "YO! JUDGE". she was attentive enough to notice that i didnt respond to any names. she asked me if i missed my name. i told her i was just sitting in to learn the system, prior to my session the next hour. i asked politely for permission to continue my visit. i wanted to see it through, and get ammo for my defense. she asked me, my name, and asked me to step forward. she dismissed me right there, and announce to the crowd that manners pay! i was blown away. YO! JUDGE!. she was kinda cute after that.

Another time I got a ticket while in my Rolls Royce for making a late left turn on a Yellow light. There was a police car making a right turn. I got pulled over and was being given a ticket for making the turn on Red. The guy who was right behind me stopped and said he had seen me make the turn while it was still yellow. He started to argue with the police man, I just thought, "Ohh *****" Another police officer stopped and I told him what had happened, he basical said it was up to the officer who stopped me. I got the ticket and decided to fight it.

On the day of the trial the guy who stopped and was argueing with the officer showed up in court to testify in my behalf. All the cases before mine were guilty, guilty, guilty...When it was my turn I testified, the officer testified and my witness testified. The officer made some comment about me driving a Rolls Royce, and said no other officer had been on the scene....My case was adjudged not guilty. The guy who stopped was a Bass Technican for the Rock band Motely Crew. Everybody in the court room just had their mouths open..that some rich SOB got off while everybody else was guilty, guilty, guilty.....
