Red Light Ticket from 3/30 Dismissed

The officer appeared in Traffic Court today and claimed to not remember the circumstances involving the ticket and so the judge dismissed it. This compleats my tickets from CM 3/30/07.
Disorderly Conduct - Dismissed
Reckless Operation of a Bicycle - Dismissed
Red Light Violation - Dismissed
Now I'll wait to hear what the Civilian Complaint Review Board has to say about being knocked off my bike.

When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race. -H.G. Wells
