Hi There,
Today I got a stop sign infringement. The intersection in question was a T Section, I was coming from an inner street and turning left (so did not have to cross the other side of the road). I believe I came to the stop sign and stopped but on the far left about 300 mt down to my left there was a police car and he reckons I did not stop.
He gave me a $400 fine! and 3 demerit points. I am just wondering what chance have I got if I dispute it. I asked him how he could have seen from that far away as he had about 10 cars ahead of him and also there was a hill and he said it was his 'perception'. I believe he was too far to see the precision of how long I stopped. There were also some trees just before the line.
My question is do these guys carry cameras? if so can I get the evidence of what he claimed or is it enough for him to say that I did not stop for me to loose the case?
