Re: Getting out of a ticket
I'm impressed fishnman with your thread. All you have to do is put that much effort and time into your court hearing as you did writing that thread!
The long and short of it is that your only recourse now is to take a hearing, plead not guilty; the judge may reduce it or the officer may give you a break. I always amend my tickets at district court. 2, if you know any officers in your area or any relatives that are cops, have them call this jerk off and ask a favor. I honor phone calls all the time from other officers. Its good that you caught the incorrect section cited. I wouldn't go in to court with all your marbles hanging on the couple things your made reference to.
Your best bet is to ask nicely for a break from the officer or judge. Don't play hard ball with insufficiant facts. When you sign for you operatos license from the DMV, you are implying that you understand and will follow all the laws of the commonwealth. I know its bull****, but thats how the courts will look at it.
Good luck
