The numbers shrank significantly, with 4,721 tickets written in 1992 to just 613 in 1999. The number of registered motorcycles also has declined from 583,222 in 1992 to 413,676 in 1999. Quigley sees a connection. It's the same thing. If everyone we write a ticket to takes us to court, we wouldn't be out there doing our job.
Most people are willing to admit they made a mistake and move on.
But not Quigley, who represents himself and files reams of paperwork with the court after scouring every arcane passage on the books. While he can quickly turn a staid courtroom into an entertaining battle of wits, Quigley really is not joking around. He is reading statutes and citing cases, but I don't agree with his interpretation. Marigonda has been on the receiving end of one of Quigley's courtroom outbursts. An informal hearing in December ended abruptly when the judge walked away from the bench after Quigley verbally attacked Marigonda.
