Our legal system is such that unless you have lots of money or someone willing to do pro bono case, this isn't going anywhere.

I think all you can do is write to the DA's office and use their reasoning of well "it wasn't his fault, he was distracted in a car" excuse as a precedent setting statement and have all traffic infraction thrown out because the driver was distracted.

Also do a writing campaign, a recall vote of the DA... And a public pressure via news coverage and even a demonstration with hopefully some media coverage.

This is just so asinine and points out a big flaw with American society. I am truly saddened and embarrassed with this outrageous conduct of the driver, police and the DA. Had this been a toddler on a tricycle with his mom, would DA let it go?? Probably not. Had the cyclist been a member of the police, DA's office, or city official would DA let it go?

I need to get off. Things like this makes me depressed and I hear more and more each day...
