"Dismissed in the interest of justice"

If you got a ticket in Alameda county, you could have gotten off easy :

But not anymore, waaah waaah waaaaaaah.

But what I want to know is more about the 'Dismised in the interest of justice' code that exists. Sounds like the cheat code to the Contra video game.

That 'cheat code' exists in San Mateo county too, must be for when cops get tickets from other cops.

Its a code used when a ticket is to be dismissed due to error, or false reasons.

As an example, I got a ticket for being "too low" back in the day, in a VW bug that was lowered. However I brought the VW factory manual and showed the bug was below the legal limit from the factory, so they dissmissed it "in the intrest of justice"
