How a trip to Ewood Park landed me in court ... it's not what you think!

[StubbsUK]

I once defended myself in court and cross-examined the police officer who put me there.

In the mid to late 90’s I used to have a season ticket, the stadium was full and lots of people travelled from far and wide to the ground on match days, mostly by car. This is what landed me in court.

Its an absolute disgrace that ever got as far as Court - talk about a waste of money and Court time!

Haha gold

I would have happily not paid the fine if it meant being deported to Aus though TBF

I put it down to an admin mistake by some underpaid and overworked minion at the council, they lost my photos.

What a complete waste of time 

Glad you won

Always nice when someone gets a parking charge win. 

Gutsy, doing it yourself too.

Courts are very intimidating places to be. 

Heart pumping,  hand shaking when passing over documents. 

Everyone's full of bravado till they get in there. Seen a few crumble.
