The expectation of the court is that each defendant file a notice for availability in the next 7 days. Date, times, and formatting shown here.

The appeals court in 25-AP-0001, State of San Andreas v. Roberto Sanchez notes that the difference between a 3rd-degree speeding citation and a reckless operation misdemeanor charge is at heart, officer discretion. However, regardless of discretion, there is no dispute that the vehicle's speed is 205 km/hr, meaning that it is driving 125 km/hr over the speed limit. This makes a 3rd-degree citation not applicable to this specific situation.

The court does not presume to be an arbiter of officer discretion when Law Enforcement acts in good faith towards the community. In the given case, the prosecution has provided ample justification for the discretion used, and as such the court finds the traffic stop and subsequent arrest to be performed in good faith. Furthermore, given the evidence available on the docket, the court finds the prosecution has met its burden of proof, and that the driver pulled over on Integrity Way is the same person speeding down San Andreas Ave.

It is with the above considerations that I issue the following verdict:

• On the count of VM03 - Reckless Operation of a Road or Marine Vehicle, I find the defendant, Marc Ericsson, guilty.

As with any given guilty verdict, the court reserves the right to seek court fees for time, effort, and resources expended on any case. As such, the court will be fining the defendant $5,000 for the court's time, effort, and resources for this case.
