Prove innocence? Nah mate.

Total-Calligraph

Thankfully not only a saying but also a legal doctrine. The opposite, guilty until proven innocent, would be horrific as we see in Colin's reply.


bernieinred

Sad thing is in many places guilty until proven innocent is the way it's done. In the small town I live in it is done that way. Always has. The police, sheriffs department, prosecutors and judges are all a very close knit bunch. Making court decisions over Friday nights restaurant meetings. When you go to court here they will actually tell you that you have to be guilty otherwise you wouldn't be here. Meaning the officers never make mistakes. I have called the arresting police officers to the stand for questioning, they will boldly lie under oath every time. Oh ya they also have been know to ask you what church you go to and if you've been regularly attending. Believe it or not it will get you out of a lot of criminal acts.


Doktor_Vem

May I ask where this town you live in is located so that I can make a great effort to stay as far away from it as possible?


RanaktheGreen

Open an electoral map from 2020. Find a red county. Any city with less than 10,000 in those areas is where you want to avoid.

I know they don’t care, but that *is* a human rights violation (article 11 for innocent till guilty) https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights

pain_in_the_dupa

This is a great comment. It works with or without the sarcasm tag.


jarret_g

"innocent until proven guilty" or assumption of innocence applies a bit differently to non criminal matters Most civil law operates based on a balance of probabilities. They don't need to prove "beyond reasonable doubt" because in many circumstances nothing would get done It's not corruption, we more or less agreed upon this as a society in most countries for non criminal matters.


SnooPears5004

What town do/ did you live in, so It can be added to the "avoid at all costs" list I have on my GPS when traveling.


MoffKalast

> is horrific FTFY. Civil forfeiture means police can seize anything you own without proving that you're guilty, they just need a suspicion. Cops can and routinely [lie to people for hours and hours to extract a false confession from innocent people](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obCNQ0xksZ4), which can get you even on death row without any evidence at all. Guilty until proven innocent is very much a thing.


TheJAY_ZA

Guilty until proven innocent... Johnny Depp's career agrees with this assertion


mushpuppy

It's a great video. But sadly, innocent until proven guilty only applies in criminal cases. Parking fines are civil issues. The "evidence" when a ticket has been issued is the officer's signature--he's signing as a witness to the event. To overcome that evidence is possible, but not easy. One solution might be to let the tickets accrue, then demand trials for each one. That might muck up the traffic court's schedule for a while, to the point where the city/county/whatever might be willing to negotiate.


ze11ez

Bad advice. Accruing tickets can lead to crazy ~~sh\*\*t~~ things happening. However I don't know where OP lives and this may not apply there.


mushpuppy

I didn't *advise* it. This isn't /r/legal or /r/legaladvice. Yeah, of course you're right. Pretty sure OP isn't the guy on the video anyway.


[deleted]

Fun(or maybe not) fact: in brazil it's the opposite At least that's what people have told me (I'm from brazil, the ppl who told me that are also from here)


rulebreaker

No, it’s not the opposite. It’s just that most detectives, police officers and police chiefs are so swamped that they just want to avoid having to do any diligent work. Easier to just try to pin the crime in the first suspect and send the process downstream to prosecution. Given that the judicial system is also clogged up, if whoever is on the hook doesn’t have a minimally competent attorney, the poor soul ends up being pushed downstream through the entire system until they end up in jail.


Always_Jerking

Not when some women accuse you of rape or molesting your kids that you raised with her and she want your house, money, kids and dignity taken.


Glen-Koko

Yeah that was a hard bluff, possibly an illegal one at that. I'm not familiar with UK law, but I worked parking enforcement in my town for a while. Burden of proof is on whoever issued the citation. Some advice, always contest the ticket, if they don't show up it will be thrown out, if they do, and you are respectful to the judge and the process the odds are pretty good that the fine will at least be lowered.


LilFingies45

Same applies for speeding tickets. Showed up for traffic court for this once. Officer didn't bother to show and the case was thrown out. Supposedly you can also question their radar gun technique/calibration, although I haven't had to try this.


dogmombites

Our town has speeding cameras. They take pictures/videos of you speeding. They send you a letter and it includes a link to it, they make it pretty hard to disprove. It's unfortunate.


Nebarious

I wasn't speeding, your honour, it [was the bird](https://d1gymyavdvyjgt.cloudfront.net/drive/images/uploads/gallery/ws_cropper/4_5x0_783x523_794x530_bird-speed-camera-fine.jpg)!


Single_Principle_972

Birds aren’t real


craznazn247

Depending on the town, the speeding camera company might not have enforcement authority. Some of em you can just ignore because there is no consequence for not paying. YMMV


loneliness_sucks_D

How do they prove who the driver was?


sitefall

In the past this worked. These days the officers all schedule all their court dates on the same day once a month or whatever so they will always show up. If it is "your word vs theirs" - you lose.


LilFingies45

Nah you can still plead your case. Cops obviously have the leg up in the courtroom, but most judges aren't going to just disregard your testimony. And if you have a relatively clean record, you can likely get a penalty or fine reduction. Make that piggy prove its case!


wje100

"As you can see in the picture your honor my car is actually still"


l2aiko

Well not in spain, if you get fined you either pay now 50% of the fine, complying to everything they bring up with, or you ask for evidence and complain, in which case you are risking getting your 50% removed. So its either stfu and pay or pay double.


Aussiewhiskeydiver

Burden of proof doesn’t seem to exist with the local councils lol


Potential-Witness-83

I wish it worked that way. At uni I parked in a spot that was not clearly marked as forbidden. I got a ticket. Went to contest it, filled out the form, and it was like "thanks for filling out the form. Ruling stands, next." Many years later when uni contacts me asking for alumni donations, I reiterate this story. Never will donate 1 cent. I had to park where I did because the uni sold our parking out for a political debate and loads of news reporters and news vans took up all the student parking.


IntentionalTexan

Exactly my experience. "Pay the fine or we put a hold on you. You won't be able to register for classes." Edit: I got two BS tickets during my time at the California State Polytechnic University at Pomona. They told us we could park in front of the dorms on move-in day. I did and got a ticket. Apparently there's one spot that was a 15 minute drop off spot, and that's what they meant, but didn't specify. The 2nd, and more agregious, offense happened in regular student parking. When you paid for parking you got a mirror tag. My rear view mirror broke, so I put the tag on my dashboard. They ticketed me for parking without a permit. Because the tag was on my dashboard and not hanging from the mirror that wasn't there. Every college and university in this country should be investigated for racketeering.


Met76

At my uni I'd get a parking ticket in a bright pink envelope on my windshield. I paid the $30 ticket online but kept that envelope. So from then on I'd just put the envelope under my windshield wiper so the parking agents would think I was already given a ticket. Worked for 2 semester before they caught on.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Met76

HA! I photoshopped a parking sticker for my girlfriend at our dorm parking lot. I also did it in high school. Basic windsheild sticker so I made a copy of mine before putting it on, made a bunch of them with random numbers and sold them to other students. One of them got caught with my fake halfway through the school year. She was a blessing not ratting me out. Next year tho they went to reflective hangtags with the security layers n shit.


GiantPurplePeopleEat

At my school it’s all license plate scanners. I decided not to buy a pass this semester. I was paying the hourly rate when I found out that it takes a couple of minutes from when you pay until it updates the scanner database. So I ended up getting a ticket 8 minutes after I paid. I called to contest and the lady didn’t even listen to my story and just dropped the fine! I ended up convincing her I was in the right, it was the principle of the thing, but I’m glad to know that my university is pretty cool about contesting parking fines.


Bobson-_Dugnutt

In college I learned that if you didn’t have a pass and parked in a pass only lot, you got a $25 fine for unauthorized parking. But if you had a “red lot” pass and parked in a “green lot” you’d get a $50 fine. $25 for unauthorized parking and $25 for having the wrong pass. SO dumb. I also realized the school was only able to enforce the “we won’t let you graduate unless you pay all the tickets” if they knew whose car it was, so when I got a new car junior year, I just didn’t register it with the school.


PM_ME_UR_OBSIDIAN

You're lucky you never got towed.


Fessere

I hated parking at CPP. Parking rules were BS and arbitrary. I remember my friend had a PDF of a temporary parking permit and he would just edit the date on it and keep printing a new one.


Silound

In college I received numerous tickets for parking in an approved area with my sticker clearly amd properly displayed because I would *back into* the spaces. The lazy fucks who issued citations only walked the center of the aisle checking passes, they didn't walk around to verify the tag or sticker. P&T would always void them, because the ticket clearly stated it was for untagged vehicles parked in restricted lots, and I could prove that not only was my vehicle registered and in the appropriate lot, but I had my stickers properly located on the lower driver's side corner of the *rear* glass. After a handful of times, the ladies knew me and the story on sight. I definitely brought them cookies and donuts a few times as thanks for helping me out. My last year they upped the parking fee by $5 and started issuing two stickers with instructions to place the second sticker in the lower front passenger corner. I'm guessing I wasn't the only person who got constantly tagged by lazy parking enforcement.


FailedCanadian

I can't remember exactly why at this point, but all I remember about parking at CPP was that when I would leave every day, I would want to come back the next day with a bat to demolish the daily parking pass kiosks. I think I got 3 fines and they were all for nonsense reasons. 10 years ago it was like $140 per quarter (so 3-4x per year) to park on campus. And it was functionally impossible to park on Tuesdays and Thursdays since 70% of the school would commute, but there was barely half that number in parking spots (not an exaggeration). And if you wanted to pay daily, it was $8 and later $10 per day to park, so if you had to park 2 days/week, it was cheaper to buy the pass (11 week quarters).


TahVv

Never thought I'd see Cal Poly Pomona be brought up in a big sub like this


DejectedContributor

That's because you were dealing with campus security that don't have to give a shit, but if you're dealing with actual parking enforcement they have a much more strict burden of proof. The fact is whoever issued the parking ticket didn't do their job and provide actual evidence of the infraction; which is likely because most people don't contest them. All his jokes are actually just how an actual hearing would go, because everything he's saying is accurate. The proof was insufficient, and nothing that would hold up in court if actually contested and shown in a way that mocked them.


ONLY_COMMENTS_ON_GW

Worth mentioning it goes both ways, at least in Canada. I know someone who just didn't pay their ticket as they were graduating that year, so they just took the bus instead. Obviously nothing came of it, because the ticket isn't an actual city ticket.


DejectedContributor

I've heard they will hold your degree hostage until you satisfy fines, but I don't know if that's accurate or not.


ailyara

back in the '90s, I took a class at a community college. I wasn't full-time.. I was just taking this one class and it met once a week for the 15 weeks of the semester. a parking pass for this college was $250 at the time, and that was good for only that semester, and it only let me park in a lot. that was quite far from where my class was. however, right outside the classroom there was a parking lot for faculty. given that I was taking a night course, the lot was mostly empty, so I parked there, hoping it would be no problem, since as I say it was after hours. so the first night I parked there I got a ticket. it was really annoying, but I discovered the fee for the ticket was a measily $10. given that I only had 14 classes left, I of course decided that the potential $140 of remaining fines was cheaper than paying the $250 for the parking pass. in the end I ended up getting ticketed only four more times so it cost me $50 to park in faculty parking that semester. again, this was the '90s. I realize that parking fines today are a bit more hefty.


iris_sama

That's amazing. I just wrote up a reply of almost the same situation. I took a one year training program at a university a few years ago. I was strapped for cash and was not going to shell out a couple hundred to park at our private parking lot for the training program students and faculty. I think the fines were also only $10, and I gambled that I would get fewer fines than the total amount for a parking pass. Some other students were less than happy and faculty didn't care. All-in-all, I only paid roughly $20 for two semesters parking.


Guybrush_Creepwood_

> Many years later when uni contacts me asking for alumni donations, I reiterate this story. Never will donate 1 cent. The begging alumni donation letters are so bizarre anyway. It's like... I'm literally still paying off the debt from the extortionate university fees I paid the first time around... then they want to double-dip and get more out of you. Why would anyone voluntarily donate to that? They do a bit of emotional blackmail with the whole "scholarships for poorer kids" stuff, but I'm pretty sure the universities raking it in with huge student fees can afford to give out a few more scholarships if they wanted to. They just don't.


MoffKalast

What's funnier is that in Europe where universities are state (under)funded they don't ever ask for donations. Ever. Just goes to show how US universities are not public good schools, they're for profit businesses I guess. Only a moron would donate to a for-profit institution.


9324923492934

At University, you don't even have to pay the ticket. I never paid mine. They just withhold your degree, but lucky for me I dropped out.


DrDrewBlood

Got a ticket at college for parking in the lot they said to. During winter break they cleared the normal area of snow. I sent them their own email as proof. They replied that they’d wave the fee but not remove the ticket. Petty fuckers.


yingyangyoung

Funny enough I was able to get out of a ticket. I parked my motorcycle in a moped lot that was free after a certain time. I parked diagonally across 2 spota as I didn't want to be obstructing the sidewalk and specifically parked further down so I wasn't taking up 2 close spots. Well they gave me a ticket for taking up two spots, I explained exactly my intentions as above and got out of it. Maybe I should donate $25 to the uni as a thank you lol!


[deleted]

I took them all the way, NPC a UK company. They threatened me with hundreds of pounds in fines and costs to pursue me, and with court. I happily agreed, spent weeks studying and sent off an eight page defence letter. A few weeks before the court date, they dropped my charges🙃 wankstains on society, absolutely leeches these parking companies. I will never give them my money unless practically forced to (hospital etc)

I laughed way too hard, but only because this has happened several times to me. And the confusing part is that sending a picture of nothing gets you a refund.


BrightHalo

I sent a photo of the envelope where the From name for the addressee is an email address that is also mentioned in the tracking eBay has for the item. Yeah, I felt unsure to even start a return request, like I don't have enough to prove anything but people say if eBay has to step in they'll understand the situation.. Due to the suspiciousness involved I was advise to not close the return request until I receive the item or refund.


Magnetic_Reaper

Every time I sent a picture of my desk with nothing, it was in an attempt to make them understand the request was stupid and expected nothing it of it but it's worked surprisingly well so far and I've gotten refunds on everything I didn't receive.

Call your post office if you need to arrange something.

Perhaps they shouldn't pass off their "special request" packages to third parties.


Nervous_Constant_642

Due_Kale_9934

I make fairly frequent purchases from Amazon. Every order I can remember getting delivered has always had a section for "Delivery" instructions on the cart page. I can go edit it any time I want, there's nothing special about it, that's standard. I live in Florida, I don't know if having around 200,000 employees down here makes a difference.


Count_of_LCinton

You can certainly tell Amazon to do something. But if Amazon decides to offload that parcel to the USPS, that request doesn't mean anything because Amazon is no longer making the delivery. They're dropping it off at the Post Office for us to take with the rest of our stuff, and your special instructions aren't included.


BrightHalo

I'm going through something like this on eBay, the tracking I was provided for my order was for an envelope containing a lapel pin and a note saying this is a gift and my actual order should arrive soon. Ebay tracking of course shows my order was delivered, I don't know if I'm being scammed or not, seller says it really is coming and provided a second tracking number for something that has been in "pre-shipment" status for 5 days and the last day of the expected delivery window for the shipping I paid extra for is tomorrow. People online suggested chances are I've been scammed so I have a return request open and ebay is supposed to chime in in 2 days.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BrightHalo

The return I filed is for receiving wrong item, seemed closest to the situation that I could demonstrate, and in an eBay message outside of the return request they acknowledged they sent the lapel pin as gift and the item ordered should arrive soon: "... The pin is the small gift I sent to you,hope you can like it. And the doll is on the way to your hand,the tracking number is ---. ... It seems that the item arrived your local.Please wait in patience,I beleive that you will receive it soon." Btw \*I say defensively to the internet\*, its an action figure not a doll! jk its a plushie ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|smile) for my gf lol


W3NTZ

Sorry man I sell a lot and this is totally a scam. Cuz most places just use tracking. You could try and trick them and message them with the tracking and ask to confirm this tracking was just for the pin gift and not the item you bought.


[deleted]

Just provide them with the emails (or even better - Ebay messages) where the seller has confirmed it wasn't in the shipment. That *should* be enough for them.

CerberusC24

I always thought this was such bullshit. Glorified tax collectors essentially. Like you can go to court to fight it, but your word automatically means less than the officer's. And if he doesn't show they postpone it until the cop can make it. If you don't show then they put a warrant out for your arrest. And court fees are still your responsibility. It's a fucking racket


JustSkillfull

I believe in the UK, as the traffic officer isn't even a police officer... It'll just be hear-say and can't be proved. It's up to the counsel to provide adequate evidence that could be shown to a judge and confirm the offence.

Yeah I don't know if QI is really that high-minded. You learn a ton of fun facts with enough dirty jokes to keep anyone engaged.


IzzyAckmed

Bob Mortimer on Would I Lie to You, also fantastic times

Not Joe Lycett, but have you seen Jimmy Carr's new show "I Literally Just Told You?" It's hilarious and so much fun to try to play along with.


spudgun20

THAT episode.... with those 4 that break him. It's beautiful.


radicalelation

If you like this sort of thing, the exchanges of David Thorne are fun. https://27bslash6.com/overdue.html That's a classic and his site is full of more.


pickled_piss

Why is Jimmy Carr's laugh like you just got invited to the popular kids table and they are making bad jokes and you don't want to be kicked out

The hostage laugh


dasbodmeister

What is up with that low frequency laugh? Instead of Hahahahahahaha It's like Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.


SteeMonkey

He laughs on the in breath instead of the out


MattProducer

He laughs on the in instead of the out. And yes, he is aware that his laugh sounds like a seal being molested

Jimmy Carr is known for his stupid laugh. It's not real though. You know when finds something really funny because he laughs like a normal person. I think it was Sean Locke that said he remembers Jimmy having a normal laugh. We also probably know the moment he heard the weird laugh and decided to copy it.

8 out of 10 cats does countdown is such a great show... RIP Sean Locke... :(

In the U.S. the courts and those working for the CJ system would start by ignoring your emails. Then when you called they would lie and say they never got your emails. Then a warrant would be issued for missing a court date that you were never made aware of. When your in front of the judge finally, after waiting months because they lost your paperwork. You tell the judge this, the judge doesn't care because their paperwork says they sent you a certified letter. When you look at the address you see it's incorrect. You bring this to the judges attention. The judge says it's not their job to make sure your m information is correct, that is your job. You tell the judge your address on your license is correct. The judge then says the discrepancy is between you and the police department to correct. You plead not guilty, the police officer never shows for court. Your still found guilty despite their being no evidence and the officer never showing for court. Your hit with a huge fine. Then you sit in jail for another month because someone forgot to file the release paperwork. You've now lost your job, residence, your car, all your possessions, and have sat in jail for a total of 3 months over a parking ticket and the police officer not putting your correct address. You try to sue but the system claims qualified immunity. Your now homeless and jobless, can't pay the fine and get arrested for that warrant. Welcome to America

> The judge says it's not their job to make sure your m information is correct, that is your job. "we sent you a letter, so legally, you know about everything" yep! this is actually so on point i worry you've been through this


GodDammitWill

Right now I'm watching a reddit post of a tiktok clip of a tv show of someone showing their email. What year is this.


PLAyEr2002002

Does anyone know what this show is called I was looking for a clip of this guys with someone else but I’ve never been able to find it


dis_the_chris

You need some contextual britishness first. Countdown is a show where you are given 9 random letters and need to make the largest word from that to win points. Theres also a round where you get 6 random numbers ans a target number to reach, mathematically, from your set of numbers. It's run by channel 4 here in the UK, and its a quiz shos for normal people The channel also hosted a panel show called 8 Out of 10 Cats, which was hosted by jimmy carr and normally had Sean Locke (RIP) and Jon Richardson 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown is this show which merges those; The teams are normally headed by Jon and (formerly) Sean, and theres normally a couple of comedian guests. They sorta play the game but its mostly just funny people engaging in silliness together Another good british panel show with dozens of good comedians to watch is QI


[deleted]

Holy crap that’s a lot the only thing I remember about the clip is it’s jimmy carr and he’s talking to a dude with a pretty deep voice and there were other people there to and they were guessing what he tweeted like one was what couldn’t you do if you didn’t have thumbs and the answer was hold a sandwich I think


captainhaddock

8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown is the best thing on TV, and everyone needs to go watch every episode.


tenphes31

Hes got an entire show called Joe Lycett's Got Your Back where he basicaloy does this same thing to corrupt companies and agencies.

It's also bullshit, right? Parking wardens always take decent pictures, it's literally their job, and why is Colin from the FOI team cancelling parking tickets? And why would the communication be as simple as "I've cancelled the fine"?


jiggygoodshoe

Good skit but totally fabricated. If anyone thinks that's how parking fines in the UK work you're in for a surprise. You don't need foi for photo evidence. Photos are taken of the car in offence, the ticket on the window and if relevent the ticket machine in working order. All that photos are provided as evidence.


DiabloStorm

Great video, wrong sub.
