proclaims that traffic offenses clog our Georgia courts...many of our citizen dont realize that Georgia criminalizes minor traffic offenses, entitling the offender to a jury trial if requested...most states treat these as minor traffic offenses...the council recommends in its report creating a new class of violations.so they are no longer treated as misdemeanor crimes. Respondent is aware that
Georgia criminalizes everything and that these offenses fit in the new class of violation where it should no longer be treated as a criminal offense. III. Plaintiffs Complaint Fails To State a Claim Upon which Relief May Be Granted. Plaintiffs claim must be dismissed because the legal

Defendant must be exonerated of any charges, and all charges dismissed with prejudice. Dated this , 2012
