Went to court today, attorney-less. Judge says to everyone in the room, "if you're here for a moving violation and want to keep the points off your record, form a line " so I got in line. Didn't ask me a single question about what happened. He (the judge) offered court costs $166 and driving school $200 and he'd drop the charge. As good a deal as I was likely to get so I took it. All they ever cared about to begin with was the money. To everyone who is disappointed with that outcome, who wanted them to throw the book at me, because I must be a menace to society because a LEO would never lie or overcharge or anything like that so I must be guilty, all I can say is that I'm pretty sure you will have time, if you choose to, to get over it before you die.
Helena has always only wanted the money. Sooner or later they'll go the way of Brookside. There are ties to the Helena PD and Brookside PD. It's gonna happen sooner or later.
