Removal of Public Record Video | Aug 2, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit

My wife was about to be arrested and the car towed, based on a hysterical call from her. I raced to the scene with the correct documents, and my wife was released on scene. The officer noted the ticket, to "dismiss upon presentation of documents", basically, a fixit ticket, but as the citation was already written, it had to be dealt with through the court. Went to the court to request dismissal, but the clerks could not dismiss as with regular fixit ticket as felony tickets are not eligible for dismissal in that way -- only the judge or prosecutor can do that. They did however photograph my…
