I don't know how to help you really. I once went into the prosecutors office. it was 20 years ago. But I was given a parking ticket for some bullshit about parking in front of a fire hydrant when this particular hydrant was all the way up in someone's yard behind a damn tree. I brought a pen and paper and drew him the picture of where the hydrant was and he said "how about I reduce the fine to $1?" and I said deal.

Most people say that if you go see the prosecutor, if it's a simple issue, 99% of the time they'll drop it down to a non moving violation or just drop it completely because they don't want to be in traffic court all day for a bunch of non-serious violations. Never tested it out since I haven't got a ticket in about a decade, but it makes sense.

If you want to get out of the ticket and the points that go along with it, just hire a traffic attorney. Unfortunately it will probably cost as much as the paying the fine for the ticket would.

Cop was hoping to get you for something more serious. So used the wide turn as a fabricated reason to pull you over.

If you have a clean record, talking to the prosecuting attorney isn't a bad start. |

I fought a bogus ticket in Grandview a few years ago and it was pretty obvious from the start that the judge was never going to take my word over the cops. ****ing thieves.

Play their games. Next time you get pulled over. Make sure the officer notices you picking your nose before hand them your license. Maybe even slap a juicy one right on top. By accident of course. Drive past by an officer while driving? Put that booger picker up in it's cache and I bet your interactions with officers will become less often and with them having less time spent on you.

Quite the dodge that lawyers built into the law for themselves. But, I'm not complaining. |

I've gotten two tickets over the past 25 years, both when I was out of state driving a vehicle with out of state plates. In one case it was completely a setup (Wyoming - got me on the first couple of days of a new law and I was clearly being used for practice), and in the other case I was speeding, albeit not hugely, on a road by myself late at night (Maine). In the second case I think I was 12 miles over, so yeah, I was guilty, but the highway patrolman was pretty rude and pulled me over in an unsafe manner.
In both cases, I was incensed. Angry. Aggrieved. I am a good safe driver. In both cases I wrote compelling and indignant letters stating precisely why, I, an excellent driver and top-notch citizen, was undeserving of this treatment and that the ticket should be destroyed to prevent embarrassment to their department. Then I deleted the letters and paid the tickets because there was no way in the world that fighting the ticket would result in anything but more costs for me. |
