Posting here since I was told it's a moving violation so this is the right forum to post in
What is the name of your state? NY (NYC)
At my father's house for Thanksgiving, I took my sister-in law and nephew to the mall. On the way back I was going to CVS for some items. I pulled into the parking lot. Ejected seat belt and as I was opening door police car came into parking lot flashed lights. Said to me I wasn't wearing my selt belt (a lie). I said I was. Gave me ticket. Told me dont worry its only $90 and no points. AFTER THE TICKET I asked for the officer names. His partner asked me if I wanted another seat belt ticket for my nephew (who also had his belt on).
I went straight to the police station who gave me a complaint # (civilian board)which I promptly called. Also left a vmail for the captain, called internal affairs, and sent out a letter to the justice department civil rights division.
I don't care about the $. What bothers me is that the cops were corrupt making up a charge and threatening me when I asked for their name. If I was smarter I would of had a recorder.
Now when I go to court, beside my two witnesses and my complaints, any advice?
Obviously my vacation day is more valuable than a court date and the money isn't major as I work in finance but I am innocent so it's the point. If they can do it to me, they must do it all the time.
