Interesting read. Good luck with the case, I’ve been going through rubbish like this for about 4 years, something like $25k+ in legal fees later.
One thing to remember if you’re going to make an example of the Police officer later on though is, it will come back in bite you hard. It did for me (then again I live in a small town not in Brisbane).
Basically it’s on going issues with the original officer I brought down, now all his Police buddies are pretty much out to get me, and do – Thus I’m ALWAYS in court with fines, win and then humorous cycle of complete BS happen's again with result in another ticket, then court.
I get along OK with the Senor Sergent, and first hand information was “ The guy’s think your nothing but a smart ass, they want you, your license or your cars for keeps, I suggest you play it my way or you can deal with them”
Despite the above however, I’m actually in the process of trying to take a more recent innocent to task, and having the officer put up for harassment and sued due to loss of income from the stress created.
Before all the legal “newb’s” jump on a bandwagon who don’t know me, it’s not really whether I win, as I’m aware I don’t have decent grounds to sue, it’s more the principal, and I want to waste his time. That and money really isn’t a concern.
