Im just angry I got charged with careless driving because the witness complaint to the police multiple times. The police ended up charging me instead of the witness. Post court results show the potential person at fault was the witness and not the defendant. But the police doesnt give 2 shits and says "too bad its past their 6 months rule". This truly is HK.Original Post Deleted
My win does not feel like a win given the circumstances and the already incurred losses. I will sue the twat to give him grief similar to what he gave me.
Congrats.
What did you present in court?
Did you get a copy of the police statement and show the dashcam?
The other guy was a local, and you a foreigner? What kind and year of car were you driving?
These are factors which make a difference to some folks. I suspect that if you too were a local or you were in the back seat of a Rolls-Royce with chauffeur driving, no complaint would have lodged against you.
I would just move on.
1) having gone through civil litigation representing myself in a group in the district court I would advise against it. You will only be able to claim costs you actually incurred and they are limited ( see the ordinance for details and amounts ).
2,) it will take two years so do you have the time. Law only favours lawyers and civil law is just them making money on hours.
3) if you got cost from the court then follow up on that otherwise just apply to the same court for costs and go down that path.
3,) I used the police complaints system. They will just come back with the same bs the cop did. They favour the cop.
4) take the win and walk away. Less stress.
Unfortunately I agree. The system is rigged, it's definitely not fair what you want through, but civil litigation will no doubt be a whole new expensive and very time consuming can of worms.
I'd love you to sue, the twats (plural) deserve it, buy maybe all you can do is learn to use the police as a tool in future.
