In Wells v Queensland Police Service [2024] QDC 38, the District Court of Queensland dismissed an appeal by Amy Jane Wells against a conviction for speeding. The appellant, self-represented, was initially fined $183 for driving 10 km/h over the speed limit but chose to contest the charge, making pseudolegal submissions devoid of merit, including arguments related to "sovereign citizen" ideologies and challenging the jurisdiction and impartiality of the court with no basis in factual or legal principle. Her appeal, predicated on similarly incoherent arguments, was rejected by Judge Allen KC DCJ, who found no error in the original Magistrate's judgment and confirmed the conviction based on clear evidence. The judge further ordered Wells to pay the respondent's legal costs, amounting to $1,800.
