Speeding Tickets

[pyramider]

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?

[Hot4Booty]

That

[Guest092216]

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

So, what ever happened?

[Guest092216]

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.

Thanks everyone. Especially you and your sexy chachas Miss Berkleigh. Yum.

You dont need an attorney for deffered adjudication. Call the court, number is on your ticket, ask for your options. Typically, you pay the ticket plus a little fee, and if 90 later you have no infractions, it doesnt go on your record.

I must have done this 20 times.

I received a ticket from a State trooper on the PGBT in Dallas county. I was elated to learn that Dallas county offers "1 day adjudication".

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.

[CG2014]

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

Who the hell is taking responsibility for their actions and not fighting EVERY ticket they get? I have zero tickets on my record, but I've gotten three to five in the last year alone.

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.

[tortpicker]

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.

Anyone have any good ideas? I have to get this ticket dismissed. Like HAVE to.

How in the heck are you going to contact the officer who wrote you a ticket?

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!!!

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

The only intelligent response in this thread, you're awesome girl!
