Superior Court of San Mateo – Northern Branch

Did a left turn and the light was very quick to turn yellow then red all withing 4 secs. Be careful I think they rigged the lights.

Ok — so went to court this morning and the cop was talking to everyone int he waiting room saying «do you want to see the pictures again» before they go in — basically intimidation and bluffing. But he couldn’t find me in the waiting room, kept asking people if they were me. So clearly his photo evidence is way too dark. When he finally found me he told me he would dismiss it before the judge, which he did. Getting my $ 450 back in a few weeks via mail.
Another defendant after me was dismissed cuz the cop didn’t show up. Worth fighting these tix!

So, I got a BULLSHIT traffic ticket.
So after I had to do 2 things, Pay the ticket and take a traffic school on line (I do recommend the Comedy Traffic
), I had to go Superior Court of San Mateo, North Branch, to bring my certificate there so they clear my record.
So I went.
You’ll see 3 kinds of people.
1. Jackass (you know people wear suits and tie?)
2. Nut head (you know people wear really large white T shirt and big pants?)
3. Nerd (you know people are in the glass window?)
When I was at the metal detector, I saw a big old black guy wear PINK sweatshirt and sweatpants.
I was struggling get my wallet, celphone, key chain and my belt out but the man went threw the metal detector within a second.
I said, «Uh-​Huh! That is it! That’s SO RIGHT to wear for Superior Court. Sweatsuit !!! What a Pretty In Pink too! He has to be a regular.»
I don’t want to be a regular here.

If you are here for traffic court, this place will rob you.
My ticket was bullshit, but that is not the issue.
This court is such a joke. Came to get a court date to contest aforementioned BS ticket.
I wait to enter in 7:30 AM just to wait 2 more hours. Then go in the tiny courtroom with a bunch of other people.
People are treated like ATM machines here, they bring you up in front of everybody, ask if you want traffic school and throw fines at you.
Then there’s a big date written in chalk with the last day to pay.
The judge is an ass, rushing people out the door and showing absolutely no compassion.
I feel sorry for all the immigrants that can barely comprehend what is going on.
$ 150 for talking on the phone while driving? Maybe. But when you are pulling into your own driveway? Get real.
This county just preys its ignorant population. I’m glad I don’t live around here.
