KTRH-Houston Traffic Court.wmv
Nick Cooper’s saga began in March 2007, when he was pulled over for turning the wrong way down a one way street. His case was finally dismissed minutes before this press conference on August 23, 2010. He admits most people would not have gone what he went through to fight a $200 ticket. Cooper’s attorney calls it an undue burden on residents who challenge traffic tickets. Randall Kallinen urges residents not to give up on seeking their ‘day in court’ — adding Cooper’s persistance led to a dismissal. Kallinen also suggests Houstonians petition the city officials to change the policy to allow just one recess. He says that would avoid multiple trips back to the courthouse.
