My day in court.

So...I went in yesterday to see the honorable judge of the booming metropolis of Youngtown. It pretty much sucked.

First may I say, if you work for the MVD of Arizona you work for the one of the most dysfunctional branches of our state government.

I went to the MVD to retrieve a registration history for my vehicle and THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME ONE!!!

Whatie?

In a system where it is so important to prove exactly when a car is registered, why can't I get that proof to show in a court of law?

Because of their lack of a system that actually makes sense, I went to the court with only the original temporary permit that I had presented to my favorite police officer, and do you know what? The judge had that very same officer called to the court to tell him (the judge) that yes, I did in fact present that proof on the day I was cited. Then that particular offense was dismissed.

(blank stare)

If it all came down to whether or not the officer believed it to be authentic, why didn't said officer believe me in the first place?

I am at a loss for words. Anyways, I shudder to think what would have happened if the officer would not have been on duty in that huge town (2 square miles) so that he could come and get me off the hook.

Whatev.
