What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Washington state
Driving my son to school this morning I was pulled over. I have a daily routine of leaving my private road and making a left because the traffic flow on the right is terrible. I made a left and then another left onto a back road to avoid traffic. There was a police officer who had already pulled someone over on the road I made a left onto and he stopped writing his ticket to pull me over. He said his reasoning for pulling me over was because I made an illegal right but I told him I had made a left. He argued with me that he had seen me make a right; which was impossible because not only had I made a left but he was writing a ticket at the time to another driver and couldn't have seen me make a thr left turn I made. I showed him my address and explained to him that I had come from the left because that was where I lived and I was dropping my son off to school. He insisted that I made an illegal right and wrote me a ticket. It seems so wrong for a police officer to wrongfully accuse me when I did absolutely nothing wrong and had my 15 year old son as a witness. Is there something I can do to fight this and also do something about being wrongfully accused? Also do police cars have cameras in the back so I could use that as evidence to show I made a left?
