Again I am asking. What is the police doing to ensure these fines are paid. I personally have friends who brag that they have gotten tickets and to this day they havent paid them.
Solution: Once traffic dept and ABTB are working together there should be no problem in integrating the fines into the vehicle license update fee….
NON-TRIALS – GUILTY PLEAS….? – FACTS GIVERS – FACTS TAKERS
The ‘…Press Release’ appeared starved for information on ‘…TRIALS.’
There are reportedly some ‘…Prosecutors’ that delight only on ‘…GUILTY PLEAS.’
BLAME
Then Magistrates are ‘BLAMED’ for not conducting ‘…TRIALS’ to enhance their ‘…ADJUDICATING SKILLS.’
BAD FOR MAGISTERIAL JUSTICE
This appears ‘…Bad for Magisterial Justice.’
Before the ‘…FACTS-TAKERS,’ many ‘DRIVERS,’ would have ‘…CONVICTED’ themselves by ‘…Pleading Guilty’ to the most serious offence; ‘…DANGEROUS DRIVING.’
FACTS GIVERS
The ‘…FACTS GIVERS’ just merely give the ‘…BASIC FACTS,’ then the ‘…HAMMER DROPS;’
(a) …Imposition of a Fine; and
(b) …Suspension of Driver’s Licence.’
When this occur, no ‘…Police Prosecutor’ can boast of:
(i) ‘…SUCCESSFUL PROSECUTIONS;’ nor of
(ii) …The development or enhancement of ‘…Prosecutorial Skills.’
QUESTION OUT OF IGNORANCE
Clearly out of ‘…Ignorance,’ the ‘…Question’ may have been asked: ‘…What is the Police doing to ensure that ‘FINES’ are paid.’
ANSWER
‘…Ensuring that ‘Fines’ are paid, has always been the responsibility of the ‘…MAGISTRACY.’
ADVICE
No matter from whom the ‘…URGINGS OR THREATS or INTIMIDATION,’ to
PLEA GUILTY,’ may come, there is a ‘…RIGHT’ to the services of a competent Attorney.’
The ‘…COMPETENT ATTORNEY’ would submit that the ‘…TICKETABLE RUNNING OF RED LIGHT’ that ‘Law enforces’ appeared to have been religiously ‘ABUSED’ by ‘ARREST,’ could stop.
BE STILL, AND KNOW
This ‘ADVICE’ is professionally and freely given to the innocent or ignorant motorist.
