Q: Why is another pre-trial set When the prosecutor produced no evidence of jurisdiction?
I was given a ticket for 87 in an 80.
I was on official business to Houston the day before a court date.
I was traveling freely and unencumbered when the officer chased me down. I rolled the window down only about 2 1/2 inches. He demand I roll it all the way down. I refused. Politely.
Then he demanded I get out of the car. I refused. Politely.
He went back to his car and within five minutes another cop cars showed up. Then he brought me my drivers license insurance and ticket to sign. I signed it and passed it back through the 2 1/2 inch gap on the window. Then he put my DL and ticket and insurance under the wiper; brought up a ticket I had pending from three weeks ago; I said what is that have to do with today?
He sarcastically said have a nice day.
I showed up for court; he was not there, but; the prosecutor tried to get me to plea without showing evidence of jurisdiction. For about 30 minutes he tried many ways to get me to plea Without evidence of jurisdict
A:
You could repost the question simply under Traffic Tickets. There were a number of different headings here, which may have served to discourage your question being picked up until now. Leave off the Constitutional Law and Admiralty/Maritime Law elements (there were no maritime issues here) - they probably only served to delay the question being picked up.
