A couple of policemen stopped me on the night of the 29th of September at the crossing of 18 Novembra with Varsavas iela.According to them i crossed the traffic light in red. I was suprised since i am a very responsible driver. But they showed me a video where the light was still red before i passed by.So they fined me.Not very convinced about the event i came back to the spot few days later to see how those traffic lights work.So the police was filming the northern light while my corresponding light was the southern one. Both lights were in the same pole but their sequence was different.So those officers were either too incompetent to check thinks properly or they perfectly knew and were just scamming drivers to meet their targets before the end of the month.I decieded to appeal the fine.And here is where it gets worse.1- The appeal cannot be done digitally. It has to be done on the police station.2- The police station is in the outskirts and far.3- The police buildings on the spot do not have a clear indication of where general public should be addressed to.4- Once in the right building there is nobody at reception.5- We had to ask few members that passed by. They recommeded to just bang the reception window.6- Someone came. Not very energetic i would say. I explained the purpose of my visit.I was told to write a statement. Do you have a standard form?" I asked. No
