Any way we could see the actual decision? It could be helpful for those of us with our own similar legal battles.
Thanks, and keep up the good work.
Jeff

Good Job Erik. BUT, May I read between the lines here for a moment. First off, a police officer wrote a cyclist, for what he thought was a violation, the cyclist took it to court and lost his case,bringing about the appeal. What bothers me Erik, the police still seem to have a thing for going after bike riders, and the city court judges still seem to be rubber stamps for the police. You know this will happen again ! Can we use this case as president and cite to a city court “rubber stamp” details of this appeal? What are the case numbers we can cite to the “rubber stamp”? Again , thanks for the work you do in this arena. We need all the help we can get.

This is fantastic news.

When precedent like this is established, does it filter down to the officers who are doing the ticket writing or does it just make it easier to get them tossed afterward?

Thanks for making it happen!
