(from this thread - got a ticket and need advice ) had my mitigation hearing, went good i guess and explained what and why and all that... ending up getting a $90 infraction on the exhaust, and $150 to pay for a year deferral (no tickets allowed - 1 year) on the speeding and it does not go on my record that's all |

If the whole thing went down exactly as you described, it was a bogus ticket. For just a bit more than you paid the court just about any attorney should have been able to get that ticket dropped. Then you could have saved your deferral for something good. |

| beansbaxter is too lazy to come up with something but he will get to it, eventually... ![]() | A lawyer would have destroyed those tickets. -He didn't assess your speed through any legal measuring device or system. -How did he know that your exhaust was not DOT legal? djtoy2000 not lawyering up.... |

Instead, the next cop on-a-mission to pull you over is going to see these tickets and the deferral, and he'll screw with you big time. |

I didn't need to "lawyer up", to admit 'yes your honor, I did lift the front tire off the surface of said roadway', Judge, bless his HUMAN heart, dismissed said violation and 550.00 fines/fee's. My point is: they/we are only human. treated with respect,honor and you shall to receive. Take ownership, have a laugh and get on with it .... |

Sometimes you just have to man up and admit when you are wrong. | |
