Say, hi. Say, hi to him.

No?
[Judge Frank Caprio] Okay, you have
five speeding violations.
Yep.
(kid grumbling)
Shhh.
[Judge Frank Caprio] Now, what do you want to
tell me about these?
All of these, your caught on camera.
I'm going to give you some advice.
My advice to you is with five speeding
violations, that you probably should
come back and have a trial.
Alright, at the trial the city would have to
prove, by clear and convincing evidence.
(laughing)
Who's this?
[Mrs. Lopez's friend] I came with her also.
She has five tickets.
One is...
[Judge Frank Caprio] Wait, wait, wait.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait.
We have a new judge here.
Hold on for a minute.
You taken over the courtroom?
Wait, who is this?
[Mrs. Lopez's friend] My friend.
My friend.
[Judge Frank Caprio] Alright,
where did you come from?
[Mrs. Lopez's friend] I came with her.
[Judge Frank Caprio] You came in together?
Court proceedings, judge.
[Judge Frank Caprio] OHh, yeah.
Your friends?
[Mrs. Lopez's friend] That's my friend, yes.
[Judge Frank Caprio] Okay, what is your name?
[Mrs. Lopez's friend] My name is Anne Logan.
I'm here for my daughter, Renell Consell.
[Judge Frank Caprio] Okay.
So, what do you want to tell me about Mrs. Lopez?
What do you want to tell me about her?
[Mrs. Lopez's friend] She has five tickets.
[Judge Frank Caprio] I know she has five tickets.
[Mrs. Lopez's friend] One, yes.
[Judge Frank Caprio] Only one?
[Mrs. Lopez's friend] One is good and the other
five... four are defective.
Defective ticket... defective ticket, no good.
[Judge Frank Caprio] OHh, They're no good.
[Mrs. Lopez's friend] Not good, yes.
She only has one.
[Judge Frank Caprio] Who told you they're not good?
[Mrs. Lopez's friend] I was here Monday I had
court, for myself.
A judge explained to us what we should look for,
on the tickets.
[Judge Frank Caprio] Yeah.
Well, you want to explain to me why
they are not good?
[Mrs. Lopez's friend] It's posted speed be the vehicle
speed and the sign speed.
So if you don't have these three things, then
the ticket the machine is not good.
The three things here, the machine is good.
[Judge Frank Caprio] Oh, So your telling me that
(laughing)
[Mrs. Lopez's friend] One of the tickets
is good judge Caprio and one is not good.
[Judge Frank Caprio] Oh, let me see.
[Mrs. Lopez's friend] I will see Monday at five o'clock.
[Judge Frank Caprio] Let me see...
[Mrs. Lopez's friend] Five o'clock judge explain to us.
[Judge Frank Caprio] Get over there.
[Mrs. Lopez's friend] I went home and slept on it,
and I study it.
(laughing)
[Judge Frank Caprio] Let me see it.
Your, honor looks like I'm out of a job.
This is my replacement.
[Judge Frank Caprio] You gonna set up shop outside
and start charging people for advice, now.
[Mrs. Lopez's friend] Thank you, judge Caprio.
I'll wait.
[Judge Frank Caprio] Get back here!
We need an interpreter.
Get back up here.
Judge, she just figured she got a half
win here, she's taken off...
See ya, I'll meet ya...
[Mrs. Lopez's friend] She understand,
she can understand it now.
I'll meet ya at the car!
(laughing)
[Judge Frank Caprio] You understand that four of these
are not... enforceable?
Do you understand that?
Yes.
[Judge Frank Caprio] So, because these summons
do not indicate the speed limit.
I've made a ruling that the summons are not enforceable.
Therefore, these four summons
will be dismissed.
Thank you.
(upbeat music)
Renell Consell.
[Judge Frank Caprio] Renell, your back!
Judge Caprio.
[Judge Frank Caprio] Yes, that's me.
That's my daughters car.
[Judge Frank Caprio] Your daughters car?
I borrowed it... and she new
that I was the one using it.
So she brought the ticket to me
So, I have to be here.
But, it was not her driving.
I was the one driving it, that's why I'm here.
[Judge Frank Caprio] Your here for the two
speeding tickets?
Yes, I used, I borrowed her car.
[Judge Frank Caprio] One of these summons is defective,
because it does not state what the speed limit is.
Yes, judge Caprio.
[Judge Frank Caprio] I'm going to dismiss the summons
that is the defective on it's face.
Okay.
[Judge Frank Caprio] You have a second summons...
That indicates the speed limit was 20 miles per hour.
That your vehicle speed was actually 37 miles per hour.
Yes, judge Caprio.
[Judge Frank Caprio] But the city, took leniency
and only charges you with doing 30 miles per hour.
Yes.
[Judge Frank Caprio] What I'm telling you is
that if you don't want to pay...
And I wouldn't want to pay if I were you.
You don't have to pay the 95 dollars today,
because I'm pleading not guilty and come back and
have the city prove it's case.
Not guilty, judge Caprio.
(laughing)
[Judge Frank Caprio] Okay.
(upbeat music)
[Judge Frank Caprio] Mrs. Logan is what I like to
call a citizen lawyer.
A person with no official legal training,
who takes the time to study the law,
to help in her own defense.
I encourage everyone to come to court
as prepared as Anne.
She saved herself 95 dollars and maybe more!
Plus she saved her friend nearly four hundred.
Well done, consoler Logan.
(upbeat music)
[Judge Frank Caprio] Good morning.
Good Morning, your honor.
[Judge Frank Caprio] You have one ticket on
Highland Avenue.
Yes.
[Judge Frank Caprio] Parking in a prohibited area.
Well, it says... there is a sign
up on top of the pole.
[Judge Frank Caprio] Whats it say?
It... No parking.
But then right below it, it's handicap parking.
I'm handicapped... and push okay.
Yeah.
(laughing)
She just taught me how to do that!
Yeah, I guess you can see the photos.
There is the top one says no parking
and the bottom one says handicap parking.
I had my handicap parking placard on the car.
When I called the number on the ticket
she said take pictures.
So, I don't know how to take pictures.
But a little kid who got off the bus
and he knew how.
He took the pictures for me.
[Judge Frank Caprio] You better be careful.
Your approaching little kids, you get arrested.
No.
Not... that little.
(laughing)
He wasn't that little.
[Judge Frank Caprio] I want you to interrogate her.
[Judge Frank Caprio] You park there all the time?
Well, whenever I go and I go often.
[Judge Frank Caprio] So, your a repeat offender?
Yeah, well... I need help.
(laughing)
Got a good doctor.
[Judge Frank Caprio] Alright, the motorist has
a handicap parking permit, she shows...
The photo that shows that the area is a handicap area.
According to the matter, it will be dismissed.
Thank you.
I really appreciate that, thank you.
[Judge Frank Caprio] Stay away from the little kids.
It was a teenager, he was...
[Judge Frank Caprio] Oh, it's even worse!
(laughing)
Like my grandson.
[Judge Frank Caprio] Alright, alright...
Were only joking with you, you know, right?
Thank you.
(upbeat music)
Elizabeth Daily.
[Judge Frank Caprio] Elizabeth, your charged with
running a red light on
Service Road and 8th in Broadway.
Um.
[Judge Frank Caprio] This was at two o'clock in
in the afternoon, we'll take a look at it.
[Judge Frank Caprio] Okay, the light is red.
There is Elizabeth making a left hand turn.
Is their a sign
that says no turn on red?
I didn't see one.
That's why I turned.
[Judge Frank Caprio] You made a left hand turn.
Yes.
[Judge Frank Caprio] The light was red.
What is your argument?
I didn't see a sign there.
Saying you can't turn on red.
[Judge Fran Caprio] You can't turn left on red.
Yeah.
I am from Massachusetts...
[Judge Fran Caprio] You can't turn left on red anywhere.
Oops.
[Judge Fran Caprio] In certain situations you can make
a right hand turn at a light.
After slowing down and in many instances you
have to stop and then go, other instances
you can go through it without really stopping.
To my knowledge, there wasn't an intersection in
the country where you can make a left hand
turn on red.
I guess it's a good thing Massachusetts
doesn't have camera's then.
(laughing)
Honestly, I didn't know that, but
now I know that.
I appreciate that, Thank you.
[Judge Fran Caprio] Okay, it's 85 dollars.
