so you have an update and are not sharing ?
Wait, so the LEO did not show to court and you still got fined? To my knowledge, every time a LEO doesn't show for a court appearance the case is thrown out and you are free to go. Only happened to me once, however, friends have been let go numerous times due to LEO's not showing to court.
I agree with the second statement oranges said.
OP, as long as you are not getting a job which involves driving at all, I would just be up front with them about it if they mention a background check prior to employment. Also, I would seek out a lawyer to try and have it expunged.
I got paced(not radared) at speeds well north of a hundred on my old CBR1000. It was on an open road in a state park and I didnt have a motorcycle endorsment on my license at the time. The LEO could have taken me to jail but because I have a clean record, he wrote me about $1800 worth of tickets and made me have someone come pick me and the bike up. He didnt show up for court so the judge threw everything but the no license ticket out and I walked away with just court fees, and a ticket that dissapeard when I went and got my motorcycle endorsmant. In Florida I believe if the LEO doesnt show up to court, there isnt much of a case.
This!!! When I got pulled over for 87 in a 45 the FIRST thing I did was get a lawyer. The money it saved me in insurance alone was well worth it- not to mention knocking the speed down to less than 5 over. Between the lawyer, class, and court costs I spent about $700. If I just paid the fine and increased insurance it would have been close to $3k+ over a 3 yr period. I figure I saved $2300 bucks... Simple math really.
How do lawyers tell their kids that money doesn't absolve them from responsibility when their kids constantly point out examples like this! :lol1:
