Logic works until you get a ticket.


Once you got a ticket, the "facts" of your case are irrelevant! It doesn't matter if you were in your living room painting your toenails and the cop burst through the front door and writes you a ticket for going 10 miles over the speed limit. Once you have a ticket, you have the ticket.

The only thing that matters once you have a ticket is if you can tie up the courts long enough for them to lose money; the only way to reliably do that, is to hire a lawyer.

 

yup.. local mayors court here gave the option for a headlight ticket.

1. plead guilty and pay the fine
2. plead not guilty and take it to trial
3. plead no contest, and i'll find you guilty and you pay the fine.

now #3 is quite illegal since if you plead no contest you get to explain your circumstances and the judge makes a judgement call after hearing it.

If i had free time I would go and film the proceedings for a week or so then send it off for review and see how long he lasts.

it's grounds to fight the ticket, bring a witness or a signed statement saying it happened on private property despite what the ticket may say.and for god's sake dress nice?

 

private property does not matter if they can see you from the road, you can get a DUI for sitting in your truck in your driveway drinking a beer if you can be seen from the road.

Good luck, let us know, I think your case it today?
