Today was my court day @ 3 pm for a red light ticket, it was such a dumb ticket in the first place, i live in toronto, canada and we are allowed to make right turns on red lights as long as we yield the right of way to uncoming traffic who has a green...but your supposed to make a complete stop, and then proceed with caution...but i was turning right, it was wet and slippery out (winter time) and no cars where coming so i slowed down and made a right turn, and then i see a cop just driving, and he turns around comes after me and gives me a ticket for running a red light, he wrote --- RED LIGHT- FAIL TO STOP on the ticket, so ok i got my lawyer to take care of it for me and i went to court with him today and thank g-d the officer didn't even show up, so the case was dismissed and all charges were dropped instantly! it would have been 3 points and $190 ticket
but 0 points and $0,
Im so happyyyyyyy [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

and no one takes the time to go to the courthouse to get the ticket fine reduced to the minimum or taken off your record. Just b/c my car was loud i got a ticket for speeding. I know about the Pedestrian has the right of way but when the pedestrian is standing in the intersection for more than a minute? Isnt that obstruction of justice? maybe I should not have honked to get the old guy off the road. I would not wait for my family on the road, esp when they where a block and a half away. OH well, I can live with it. At least I got the speeding ticket dismiss, even without a hearing.

As for Ricewashed, that was me. I'm just saying that going to court you can reduce your fine. Not many people know that. The last part is how I got a ticket. I honked at the guy to make up his mind. The car next to me was already in the intersection and I was just over the crosswalk. IF you have not guessed, the guy was on the otherside of the intersection. Never honk at a pedestrian in Cali. Not a good idea. One point is always better than two.

Here in Miami , they have traffic citation lawyers that specialize in traffic incidents, and they charge reasonable fees like $40 more or less everytime.

In any event, I take my tickets to court MYSELF and usually get off for free. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

Pays to be intellectual.

It really wouldn't be that expensive compared to the possible ramifications of a guilty disposition on the original charge. By me, an attorney would charge about $300-$400 for a non-misdemeanor charge and could probably take care of it. Worth it in my opinion and not that expensive...
