FHP caught Brevard County’s Deputy of the Year Michael Fultz riding his motorcycle 111 mph but did not arrest him under Florida’s ‘Super Speeder’ law, News 6 has learned.
Sounds like you’ve had unusual experiences with the courts. I can’t force you to base your opinion off of more typical experiences, in large part because you haven’t lived other people’s lives (or looked into their court cases).
Back to my metaphor, if a seat-belt trapped me in my car, I wouldn’t decide that must be normal and I should never wear a seat-belt again.
I guess you may not know that court can still levy judgements against you ex-parte (generally, civil), or just put a warrant out for you to force you to come (generally, criminal).
“I don’t want to go to court” is like saying “I don’t want to pay taxes.” The government doesn’t really care if you want to do it or not.
Yes, not putting your matches next to your lighter fluid is a great idea (we should focus on “making a real difference” to prevent needing court), but you still need fire hoses for when you get unlucky and you have to fix a problem outside of your control (court).
But that’s all just fluff if you think that cops seeing a dash cam will make them want to take you to court. I really think that’s an incredibly rare cop that feels that way, and you seem to really think that’s very common; I suspect if I polled a hundred cops I’d get roughly 0 that feel that way, but you’d probably insist those were an unusual 100 cops, or the ones in your area are different. I can’t reason you out of a position you didn’t reason yourself into.
You seem to think that’s more likely without a dash cam. I don’t.

I’m not saying you don’t have cause to be a bit silly about this, I’m just trying to get you to realize you’re being a bit silly about this.

I don’t know what to tell you other than that we live in a brutal, unfair universe and are forced to do our best.
The only thing worse than having courts (which by nature of being comprised of human beings, often get things wrong) is not having courts.
