I think the low life SOB who sent this thread to the solictors office is probably one of the people on this thread who resents ANY criticism of government employees.
I'm sure they would like every ODT member who has expressed any frustration with entrapment, police misconduct, etc to be fined or jailed for such awful behavior.
Some of your smug comments about basically "shut up and pay your fine" make me sick. The OP obviously is a law abiding safe driver who got in a difficult, dangerous traffic situation. If anything, the state owes him an apology for allowing a bus stop in such a dangerous, high traffic area.
And a solicitor threatening a higher fine because they don't like a citizen getting advice on an online forum? Well, that's sounds a little like a Nazi to me.
You must have missed the post that stated the OP told the solicitor himself when he posted this thread. We have DAs, Judges, Police Officers, and even Solicitors (yep, in this case the one assigned to the OP) on this very forum.
