while on holidays over xmas, travelling from brissy to karumba and back, i left a cent qld town not realising that i hadnt payed for brekky. when pulled over by the police in the next town i expected an rbt or "did you know this fell of the back of your ute?"despite my offering to pay the bill and an apology, i was taken back to the police station, photographed, fingerprinted ,charged, and asked to appear in a courthouse [several hundred kilometres from home] at a later date.. despite a clean record and not having ever being charged with anything in my 36 yrs, i am not allowed to have my court transferred to a local court unless i plead guilty. there is no way on earth that i will plead guilty to such a low life act of selfishness. honest people do make honest mistakes...of course i intend to seek proffessional legal advice, but for the moment , can anyone say if accidental non payment is enough for a judge to charge me with shoplifting or does intention to leave without paying need to be assumed by a judge prior to pronouncing me guilty?...so far several great character refs from friends and business associates dont seem to be helping me much..
