It’s only a matter of time before this place shows up on a documentary about corruption.

Only thing I’m upset about is I have to pay a ticket for an accident I was involved in with ONLY ME no one else was involved. Other than that, the clerks department has been more than patient, gracious and kind with me. I appreciate the customer service

There's a reason people hate Ohio, and holy hell is Lima, OH now one of my biggest reasons. I was put in an unfair situation driving home to Cincinnati on I-75 when a highway patrolman cited me for going 82 in a speed limit zone of 70, and I know for a fact that I was not going any more than 75 mph. So I decide to cut my loses and go to the court hoping to plead not guilty, talk to a prosecutor for a reduced fine and get the whole thing taken care of in a couple hours. Another driver from Indiana was given this EXACT treatment for a similar situation to mine. But did I get that luxury? Of course not! The judge denies me any chance to explain myself and immediately makes me sign a bale form so that I'm charged $1000+ if I don't show up to a new court date. Now I am stuck waiting for this new date that I have to plan around a busy work schedule. All for going 5 mph over, just like 99% of the highway traffic does on a daily basis. Why was I so blind to think justice exists in this God forsaken wasteland of a city??

Why is the municipal court lobby closed to photography. Does the judge that made that "local rule" realize it is in violation of our first amendment rights, specifically the freedom of the press? How can the court stand for justice?

In regards to freedom of the press, are you a certified reporter or journalist?
