And then everybody stood up and clapped but first they made sure not to cross the threshold and have their 55-c form ready.
This doesn't sound too ridiculous, except for all the pseudo legal magic. Without the threshold and "well I don't plead" stuff, I can see the rest of it being plausible. If the judge was having a good day and didn't want to put up with it, I can see him ignoring the guy's made up legal theory. At its core what this is is a guy saying he didn't do a traffic infraction, and the judge letting him go when he swears it.
Crossing the threshold? Is he a vampire?
He's been sucking on something but probably not someone's neck... more like a crack pipe.
I’m assuming he was using the “I wasn’t ‘operating’ that vehicle, I was traveling in it” sovcit logic to wholly commit perjury and then think they won because their worldview is then confirmed by getting to walk out?
Sure was.
Aaaand without any evidence from the state he just said not guilty?
Well, any good Justice system in the modern world goes by taking defendants at their word
This is fake. He used “judge” instead of “magistrate”
That's why he didn't cross the threshold. If he did, then the judge morphs into a magistrate - which hold power over both the person AND the paper that they are attempting to charge.
Not if that fucking gold fringe has anything to say about it, Admiral.
I mean, is that something they actually believe?
Probably!
I think the judge knew he was outmatched and didn't wanna embarrass himself.
(I never crossed the threshold)
Does this only work if you're a virgin?
It's to indicate that they weren't accepting the invitation to come forward except by special appearance. Crossing the threshold under those circumstances would turn it back into a regular appearance. Wouldn't apply here though, it's from Drac's Law Dictionary so those are vampire court rules.
