SEATTLE -- A man who was given a $138 fine for warning drivers they were approaching a police speed trap won't have to pay the fine after all.
Daniel Gehlke appeared in court Wednesday to fight the ticket, but the Seattle Police officer didn't show. A judge then tossed the case
Really, I would not have accepted a dismissal; I would have demanded a trial and that the cop show up....so I could examine him under oath. I would have asked for a subpoena be issued to compel his testimony.
By now, everyone on the planet knows that the citizen did nothing wrong and his arrest is just an isolated <cough cough> incident.
