On my way to class this morning and I got pulled over on the N. bound 281 for doing 81 in a 65. I got a ticket a little less than a year ago and I also still have a California liscense. Please give me some suggestions on what actions to take. Should I get a lawyer? If so do you know any? Or should i just show up to court and plead not guilty and hope the officer does not show up. Please help...any input is greatly appreciated.

 

Buy a Radar detector. & Get a lawyer....its worth it, but takes a long time.

 

I know in California you can do a declaration by mail. You still have to post bond, but if the officer does not respond then you are off, and if you do lose, you can appeal it, and the officer again has to respond. Or you can attend court plead guilty and ask the judge for leniency and a reduced fine.

 

rub one out on the ticket and it will disappear.

 

Step up, be a man, and take responsibility for your ticket.

 

Grab your ankles and take it like a man . . .

 

were you going to utsa? just get deferred adjudication (probation) cost about the same as paying the ticket but after 90 days it gets dismissed

 

Nah i was headin' to SAC...Lotta ppl have been tellin' me to just show up to court and plead not guilty because chances are the cop won't show. Does tht mean tht the ticket gets dismissed and i don't have to pay anything at all? Or do I still have to pay?

It doesn't work that way. If you show up and plead not guilty they will reschedule the court date so that the PO has the opportunity to appear. Then you get to make another trip to court. Don't hold out hopes on something like that, you'll get nailed to the wall.

 

wait...and you should most likely be receiving in the mail from lawyers there services to help get the ticket dismissed. Usually to the address on your license.

 

Oh ok i see. Thanks for the insight ZSport1. N thx to everyone else too.

 

try 6 months, and it only goes away if he doesnt get another ticket in the meantime

 

This is funny, welcome to the family, a couple of years ago the same thing happened to me, reduced fine, defereed ajudication or off record in 90 days.....saved me from having to take a defensive driving class....just need to know how to take to the prosecutor

 

the only person that could help is yourself. dont speed cuz your late already no point of speeding
