OK... few things and I'll start from the top!
Anyone who has fought a ticket before I NEED your advice so please read (What else are you gonna do!? Pull it!?)
Ok... 4/19, corner, pulled out and got squirrely... got a ticket for violating 316.191 (1). This law is for racing on public highways. I printed out the definition of racing (The act of competition between 2 persons or vehicles......). I feel that I was given a ticket for something I didn't do. I fully admit that I was "burning rubber" (written in notes section of citation), but I was in no way in competition with another vehicle. This ticket is 4 points and I think that it is BS. So I want to take it to court!
On top of all this (this cop is an idiot) he turned in his paperwork incorrectly and I got a notice on 4/29 for failure to appear in court. I have 30 days to decide my option and I get a notice saying that I'm warranted now and I owe court fees and crap. On this notice the citation number matches what I have on my copy, but the violation is different. I have violation 316.191 (1) on mine and the notice has 316.191 (a) (2). The notice in my opinion has the correct violation (aggressive driving, excess of acceleration). So with all this wrong, and bringing in printed documents of laws and violations, do you think I have a good chance of winning???? This beeeotch cop might not even show up! So..... let me know! Thanx!
