[QUOTE="COBRA90GT, post: 1301831, member: 2348"] Well, that is a good point, however the prosecutor is essentially assigned as the "representative" for the city/county so the officer does not have to appear in court. In other words, it is the city/county who are "charging you" with the citation, not the [i]individual officer[/i]. Make sense? Remember, this was probably a civil infraction and therefore a civil hearing (read: traffic court), not a full-fledged criminal trial, per se. [b]dh2398[/b] - Sorry to hear about your outcome. There are certain traffic courts where the judges don't budge one bit, sounds like you ran into one of those courts/judges (21 years and he has never cut a single person a break on a traffic ticket - that is amazing! He must be pretty bitter LOL). Anyways, if you are not familiar with how [b]your local[/b] courts function (because they all operate slightly different, with certain nuances), then it's definately in your best interest to retain a lawyer, hindsight being 20/20 of course... :) [/QUOTE]
