A 96 year old man should not have to drive his disabled son to his appointments, and there are no circumstances in which it is ok to speed through a school zone.
I completely get not fining him, but the case should not have been dismissed and the judge should have recommended some kind of service or help that could take his son to his appointments so this very elderly man is not at risk of killing children with his car.
Children deserve the same opportunity to live to 96 that this guy had.
Speed limit in school zones (and usually only in place during like 7-8 am and 2-3 pm) is 20mph so if this guy was going 25 and got a douchebag cop I can see why it was dismissed
If he was going 35-40 then yeesh yeah that’s not a good look
There is a reason for this speed limit. A random child that comes running on the street, you need to be able to have the reaction time to break. Especially if you are 96 years old, your timing will be so late that you will most likely won't break at all when you are speeding. 25 in a 20 is a 25% increase.

Nothing about this is amazing, it’s sad.
