Good luck against the BC cash cow!

Having spent almost 30 years prosecuting in traffic court, I can assure you that traffic court is anything but boring!!!! Tarrfic court JPs do nothing but that, I know several of them and we all agreed that the stories, lies, concoctions, BS and fairy stories, sprinkled with a smidgeon of occasional truth, made for very entertaining times.
In the immortal words of Judge Gordon Seabright...

Traffic court is very very very entertaining... the best is seeing people defend themselves by using lines out of tv shows....
One of the funniest things was when a taxi driver said to Crown, "You didn't see me wearing my seat belt.. how can you be credible at all, when you said I was speeding?"....
or when a lady wanted almost a year to pay for her 167 dollar ticket. When the JP asked her why, she said she didn't have the money.. The JP asked what car she drove. She said a Mercedes C class... Then the JP asked if she rented or owned a house. She said she owned.....
