He has no proof. Innocent until proven guilty. You do not have to prove your innocence, the court has to prove your guilt. His word is not enough proof, and the dumb cop should have known that, but it was a campus cop.Wrong, this is America come on now. Similar situation happened to me. Some guy called me in and said I "almost hit his daughter". That was obviously not true. Year and a half later I get arrested. It was fucked up because I didn't do anything so I didn't remember doing anything, and I was being arrested. Long story short, took it to court, he won. I got a 500$ fine and like ten points of my license. You better have a damn good story because if he really is a retired police officer you are fucked. His word is obviously going to have more merit than the "punk in the cool car".

It cost me about $1000 but i didn't lose my licence and my insurance wasn't dropped. So it was well worth the price.

Yea they gets scared when you take them to district. They try and look for that quick money in the municipal court. If they win their not too many people are going to go beyond that, and thats what theyre hoping. I can almost guarantee you since they had no proof of you doing it and you take it to district, the city prosecutor will cut a deal with you, because he know he will lose and doesnt want to waste his time
