Uh, people, there's some confusion here. In _criminal_ matters,
proof beyond a reasonable doubt is required. However, in _civil_
matters, all that is required is a preponderance of evidence.
I'll bet that you'll find that most tickets are classified as
civil matters, not criminal, and that the judge was doing exactly
what he should have: he considered the evidence, and decided that
the preponderance of evidence was in favor of the cop telling the
truth and the guy with the ticket not.
