Fine was more than the motorcyclist anticipated, so he changes his plea to not guilty. Imagine this happening with every other traffic offender. To go from your arraignment to the trial now takes ~6 months to schedule. If you are guilty, man up and pay your fee so you can get on with your life and not waste other people's time. /rant

I'm not worried about paying the fine. I don't want the points on my record so I'm gonna try to fight it. This is god damn america last time I checked and I get a right to a fair trial, correct? Sorry you have to spend an entire day doing that shit but it's part of your job. Quit if you don't like it /rant
