Update: BMW Canada Press M4
Hey everyone, just want to give you guys an update.
TL;DR: Officer wasn't aware of the hearing, case was expunged.
Background: Feb 2020 I was pulled over by Officer Buckingham for excessive noise emitting from a BMW Canada Press M4. The M4 does have the optional exhaust and I must admit it's pretty loud but since it's on the road I would assume it's gone through what's needed to make it legal.
As this is a press car from BMW Canada, they hired an attorney to help me with this case.
We first schedule with the court in Feb 2021, my attorney and I arrived on the scene and Buckingham was there offered that I plead guilty, pay the fine and he'll dismiss the points.
While this was of interest to me as I didn't want points on my license I also never had points before so I didn't mind "risking" a few points to get a judge to see my side. We declined his offer and proceeded.
After enter the court room the judge said he was hungry and asked to reschedule, obviously his word is above ours we rescheduled the court date to July 2021.
Alright 2nd court date, we walked in prepared once again this time Buckingham told us he wasn't informed on today's hearing and was not prepared because of this the case will be expunged. Went into the Court room, he told the judge he didn't have his notes and that was it.
Year and a half later, two court dates, two days of unpaid leave from work, money on parking, attorney fees all goes to him not knowing the date and having it all thrown.
While I'm happy I didn't have the pay the ticket nor have any points on my license I feel that I came up empty handed. I wasn't able to use a stock car and showcase to the judge how these actions on some of the police officers are not justified.
