Speeding Tickets

Taint photos would be the proper way to show your appreciation.

Did you flash the officer as Berkleigh suggested, or did you happen to get stopped by the gay policeman?

That

I believe the police man was straight. Perhaps he was having a bad day.

So, what ever happened?

Still working on it. Requested court date. Will request extension bc I literally have no time to get there right now. It's sad. This summer is killing me. Yall were right though. If I request and complete deferred adjudication or defensive driving then it won't ever be reported to DPS and I'm good. Slight over panic on my part. I'm silly.

Deferred is awesome.

By the time you've paid an attorney, you could had used that $ to pay off the fine on the ticket or pay a small bond to get deferred adjudication or defensive driving and pay for the defensive driving class.

Ya he wasn't have any of my excuse. Which I can appreciate on some level but in this case I really need to fix it. I'm gonna call an attorney about it today. Tell them why I need it dismissed and see what they say.

Thanks everyone. Especially you and your sexy chachas Miss Berkleigh. Yum. Originally Posted by THN

I must have done this 20 times.

You go to the court (which is a clerk in a window in a hallway)
Present your violation, request deferred adjudication
Provide proof of insurance and photo ID
Pay the fine for the violation
If you do not get another violation in 1 day, it disappears.

The length of the deferment depends on the locale. This is why you have to call the court to find out your specific options. I was utterly shocked their deferment was 1 day.

1 day? If someone can't stay out of trouble for 1 day.... then they deserve everything that's coming to them.

Also, not trying to start anything with you, but if you were guilty and indeed were speeding - why not accept responsibility and pay the fine like ever other citizen who breaks the law. If you have a legit reason on why you were speeding I can understand, but if not it really tarnished our judicial system when people blatantly break the law and look for loopholes to escape from paying the fine that's America for ya!

The answer to the question is:
1. Hire an attorney that specializes in traffic court. They have people there. They no the tricks, like scheduling your hearing on the cop's day off. This is the favorite and most effective method. Are YOU going to work on your day off?
2. Show up for court and hope the cop doesn't.
3. Request deferred and take the BS course.

Deferred adjudication or take defensive driving. Just call the court and ask your options. I haven't had any lately but in the past I had plenty. They usually work with you...they just want your money.

How do you suggest getting out of them? I've read everything from requesting continuence after continuence indefinitely to contacting the officer who wrote you the ticket and ask him to dismiss it.

Anyone have any good ideas? I have to get this ticket dismissed. Like HAVE to. Originally Posted by THN

Is there some directory so everyone can call the cops who wrote them tickets/or busted them for [prohibited topic] can get them to change their mind?

Buy a good radar detector!!!

Show your B( o )( o )B's !!!!

Works for me!
True Story!
The officer who pulled me over for speeding 92mph in my dealer car actually wanted my Plastic Surgeon's info so he could buy a pair for his wife

...and then I drove away with no ticket
