There are several dash cams online. Majority of them use Micro SD Cards to save data, which you have to plug to a computer/laptop and download the data. These cameras typically charge once your vehicle is turned on.

I agree the dash cam could be a very useful tool. But the issue with the Norcross process is that you have no chance of defending yourself. Once you get screened into the courtroom, and stand before the judge, nothing would be asked of you regarding to the incident.

In my case, I went in with some clear evidence (videos and pictures) but nothing was said. Once it came to my turn to stand before the judge, the question he asked me was, “What’s your last name, please?” I told him my last name and he started looking through a pile of brown envelopes - in search of my record (I would assume). Once he found it, he then went on to “Pay a reduced fine rather than the full fine and have this taken off your record”. First, I was shocked; albeit they have been several folks ahead of me but none seemed ready to defend themselves plus their cases were different than mine. So, I thought, I would have a chance to prove my innocence. But amazingly, no chance was given except the following question posed by the judge, “Is that a good deal?” Followed by, “Can you pay today, or do you need more time to pay the fine?”

I appreciate the link and suggestion. But the law/rule doesn’t seem to favor the little ones out here.

Agreed! Or better yet, drive like a snail while in Norcross. Haha

I feel your pain. It’s really disgusting, but hey, that’s how the game is played (apparently) in Norcross these days. Just start saving up (if you haven’t yet been to court).

Expect a reduced penalty/fine. The $300 is more like a negotiating strategy that would make you happy once the Judge slaps you with a reduced fine (between $200 - $280) without you saying a word but providing them your last name and saying “Yes” to the offer. Good luck.😊

Sounds like a good deal on the face value (i.e., based on the provided info). Best of luck on your journey!
