Thanks

Jeremy

 

if its anything like here in utah then your not going to be able to fight it... the office sited you for it and all you can do is go to court plead not guilty and hope the officer doesn't show up for the hearing in which case they will dismiss the ticket...

Here in utah they send you to a testing center and they look your truck over and if they see mods you pay the fine...

 

"uhhhh I didn't know". 60% of the time that works every time.

 

im with gijohn go to court and hope the officer doesnt show up...but if you plead "not" guilty that means you can exercise your right to a fair trial in which the judge will have to schedule a jury selection and then schedule a trial session and the officer will have to be present and show some kind of legal proof, in which the judge just might say screw it and throw it out anyways....but if they do give you your trial then you either pay a lawyer or represent yourself with a court appointed one in which if you loose it will get pretty pricey. so all in all i would just stick with hoping the officer doesnt show and if he does then plead no contest and pay the fine in which you are guilty for anyways

 

If you could detune your truck so it dosn't smoke bad, drive it to court, plead not guilty and explain how your truck had a bad injector and you went right out and had it fixed. If you knew someone who owns a shop and could get them to dummy up an invoice (dated correctly of course) that would probably be helpful. The judge might dismiss it, or at least be lenient in any penalty.

 

How much was the ticket? And does that kinda ticket carry any points on your insurance?

 

I do actully have a bad injector so I'm goin that route I'm gunna de tune the truck to stock when I go. And its 400 bucks and no points bc the ticket goes to the owner and they can't prove I was driving it kinda like red light cams

 

Move to California.

Here's it's a $40-60 fix-it ticket that only becomes legal if you smoke for a period longer than 10 seconds straight.

 

it amazes me that people can't own up to their actions and are willing to commit a felony and perjure themselves to save a few bucks...

 

I'm not saying it hasn't happened, but I've never heard of anyone in NY getting a ticket for smoke. Cops here are to bust tryin to bust you for not wearin your seat belt. Free Country

I'll do what I can to save a buck, because I don't have a money tree in the yard. To each his own
