He didnt do it because he's a nice guy. He was looking at his computer screen for a few moments before he dismissed it. Normally if you plead not guilty they set date for pretrail. He just dismissed it outright. What other story do you need to hear. Very simple.

Judges will dismiss cases more than half the time here in Orlando, if the owner already paid a substantial amount of fees as you did or will do for the impound charge. The impound charge will generally out weigh the cost of the any citation.

The fact of the matter is there still seems to be a lot of holes in the story. Little details like, did you get out of the car thinking the cop wasn't stopping you or because you were home and he flipped... far too much to judge...

If I had to take a stab, It seems like the cop was overzealous but at the same time... missing way too much information.

Most Camaro5 members are sensible people... as such, it is hard to point blame on someone who cannot defend themselves here. That is why your first thread was closed... it is why THIS one will be closed eventually because some people just cannot handle a calm, respectable conversation.

You seem like an honest man who got tied together with perhaps a cop that misread or had mis-communication with you... either way, we will never know because he can't tell us. If the judge dismissed this case without setting a hearing date subsequent to the charge, chances are he felt bad for what you went through... not that he felt you were "innocent".
