Stopped for going 45 in a 40 MPH zone. This is a four-lane stretch of highway-grade road with an unreasonably low speed limit. Trash trucks and dump trucks were passing me, yet I was pulled over. Makes you wonder if someone is getting kickbacks. It’s nearly impossible to fight a traffic ticket in Marion County (the traffic court judge is currently in trouble with the Indiana Supreme Court for alleged judicial misconduct and we can only hope he is removed from office). Due to numerous complaints to our elected officials, the state legislature passed a law only affecting Marion County that limits the unreasonable fines he could throw at people who contested tickets and lost their cases. Police, Prosecutor, and traffic court in Marion County are a huge good-old boy network (it’s all about shaking down motorists to pad budgets), yet they cannot get the truly dangerous drivers with suspended licenses off the road, pick up dangerous wanted felons, or stop the increasing criminal violence in the city.
