I have not been in court, but a colleague of mine has. He says it is a very stressful experience and the atmosphere is very tense. I would like to go one day to see it for myself.

Yes, but it was for jury duty so I'm guessing that doesn't fully count

Yes, for not seeing a traffic light. It was an embarrassment

Unfortunately yes, it was for a domestic abuse case where one of my family members was the victim

I was once in court for being black. Yes, a store had been robbed and the cop swore it was me. Fortunately they released the security footage and they had to make up for it.

I'm there all the time! It's my job haha

I've only been to traffic court for a speeding ticket; it took a long time and the ticket wasn't reduced anyway, I should have just paid it and called it good.

I've had to testify a number of times. Can't really get into it here for obvious reasons. It's just part of the job though

I wasn’t sure if I could handle being a cop. Yesterday was a big day for me though, that’s when they pepper sprayed all of us cadets (making sure we could keep our wits about us under pressure). I lived through it. And I can do this… I know it now. :)
