Default Convicted

I had court today. I was charged with 102 in a 55 and eluding. The only "evidence" that they had against me was that the car that the officer clocked before he lost it, was small in size, yellow, and possibly of foreign make. The officer didn't even know if the car that he clocked was a convertible. He admitted that he lost sight of that car, and then saw me, and pulled me over. Somehow the judge found this to be sufficient evidence and found me guilty on both charges. I was sentenced to 6 months in jail, $13xx in fines, and 5 months loss of license. My appeal date is July 13th. I find this ridiculous, how can then convict me with that, or lack there of, evidence?

Good news is, my license plate ticket was dropped because of lack of evidence.Somehow the cop actual seeing that it wasn't mounted properly on MY car isn't enough.

Yes I did, and I thought he did an awesome job, up until the judge read the verdict I was certain that the charges would be dropped.

I was just fucking with you, because most people on this forum post about how they hate the cops and shit over tickets. Your post seemed pretty civil considering what happened.

I really wouldnt discuss a case in which I was facing jail time on drag. Lol, especially with state faggots being members on this board. But hey you were smart enough to run and get caught, so keep blabbing.

I don't think I ever said I ran. I got pulled over going about 45, when the cop assumed it was the same car
