Town of West Seneca Justice Court

Car impounded for $800 when I was ordered by Lt.to park it there when I wanted to bring it next door where I lived. I was in an ambulance. 5 min later my car was impounded. Tried to sue west seneca but was never told I had to give them notice in addition to filing papers and fees. Courts were closed during this time. Covid 19. Impossible to give notice. Courts were locked. Low income. Car is only worth $600. Lost $800 due to a Lt. Who ordered my car to be parked in this spot and then had the tow truck impound it. I also was treated roughly and slammed into the ambulance by his officers and my neck was twisted as it was shoved down. Nightmare! to this day. This treatment does not help any condition. PTSD is a condition suffered by our military personnel and rough treatment does not help. With evictions from landlords happening shortly afterwards because of Police presence and ambulances. We are living in a community of many variety of issues. Getting help should not cause you to lose your apartment thru eviction.

I was given a ticket for a front headlight that was working 20 minutes prior when I left a friends. I explained to the officer that I had a spare bulb in the car and even showed him, and he clearly didn't care and wouldn't even let me finish. It was a Saturday night and I was given 24 hours to get it fixed. Since most places are closed Sunday, I had to spend my whole day trying to find a place to fix and sign the sheet he gave me. When I found a place willing to fit me in, the light was working. Regardless, he could have been a decent person and provided a warning, especially considering that the light had been working before I left, and I was unaware that it had stopped. Money before conscience I suppose.

Funny, you never see cops or their family members in traffic court. Perfect drivers at all times right. And everyone wonders why the justice system is laughed at and cops are not respected. Harassment for Revenue. We are just trying to get through our daily struggle with out paying outrageous fines for minor infractions. Thanks for keeping everyone safe from window tints and people going 10 mph over the limit. You should feel like strong men. Hopefully NYS falls into the ocean soon. Why anyone would want to live in this military state is beyond me.nn-Average citizen

Made the mistake of trying to stop at a gas station which was busy went to exit the driveway . Pulled over and accused of avoiding traffic signal because according to the cop everyone does it there. Went to court for a misc violation and given an extremely high fine. Judge reduced more serious fines for cell phone use and speeding. I asked for more time to pay fine and told I would have to come back to court and start over but others before me they could have time to pay. Time is money and coming back wasn't an option so I had to pay the fine. Fines should be based on the violation not where you live not everyone has money in Amherst. No stars for you.
