Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })So You Think You're Not Guilty is a short (ten minutes) Warner Bros. comedy film from 1950, directed by Richard Bare. It was one of 63, count 'em, 63 shorts in the "Joe McDoakes" or So You Want... series that ran in theaters from 1942 to 1956.In this one bumbling protagonist Joe McDoakes (George O'Hanlon, who would later voice George Jetson) is driving around downtown with his wife Alice. A malfunctioning traffic light flashes from GO to STOP to GO to STOP repeatedly, causing Joe to repeatedly stop and start his car in the intersection. Eventually he's ticketed. Joe refuses to plead guilty and pay the $2 fine, instead demanding a jury trial. This winds up getting him in a lot of trouble.

Honor Before Reason: The judge tells Joe that if he pleads guilty he can just pay $2 and go home. Joe refuses, standing on principle. He gets a 10-year prison sentence.
