[QUOTE="g00se, post: 13096968, member: 67868"] It is marked as a traffic infraction on the ticket, not a misdemeanor. Update: The arraignment was Friday. I had not come to terms with counsel and decided at least for the arraignment, I could satisfactorily represent myself. I explained a little of my case to the judge and was granted a continuance of arraignment and a change of court house (from asking around I had heard the court I was assigned to was notoriously strict). However, I wouldn't necessarily recommend this approach. To give counsel every opportunity to earn a favorable ruling, hire a good attorney up front. If I wasn't granted the continuance, I would've plead not guilty and been assessed a trial by judge, which limits your options. A trial by written declaration can be a good way to go (you will absolutely lose) but you can learn what the officer's knowledge of the case is, and then proceed with a trial by novo and be better informed of the other sides arguments. If you want to represent yourself, dress professionally, do your research, listen attentively to pleas of others that go before you and assess the judge, be familiar with law terms, and always use "Your Honor." To a point mentioned in this threat, my insurance carrier is State Farm; I have one point on my record, and my rep ran a what-if scenario if this ticket were to go on my record. He came back and said I would be refused coverage. In addition, like others have said, the fines for this kind of ticket (22348b) in CA are around $1500 plus suspension of license for 30 days. Will continue to update. [/QUOTE]
