Our state is cool. If you challenge it and the cop doesn't show up, it gets wiped clean.Ziggy587 wrote:Well apparently my county has a program going on where if your license is clean then it'll pretty much automatically get knocked down. The cop told me this. He said to plead not guilty and it WILL get knocked down. So that's exactly what I'm going to do. The only thing I really have to do is show up on time with the right papers, not drunk, and dressed decent.
Funny story about that, my wife was challenging a ticket for slipping on ice and landing in a ditch (with about 4 other cars) that the cop said, "Challenge it, I will not show up." She did and I was with her. A woman was challenging a ticket that a policeman DID show up for and the woman went ballistic about police brutality, stating that, "He is battering me with his LIES your honor! My son served in afghanistan and this is how you repay him!" After she was told to pay the ticket, she confronted the cop in the waiting room and again said the whole afghanistan thing and then slapped the cop. Out came the handcuffs. Crazy lady.
