> I tried dealing with a ticket myself once… It was out in weedsport and I was hit for an 87 in a 65. I called and cancelled the first time and claimed I had the flu. I showed up the second time and it turns out the state trooper didn’t show up.
> 
> I went into the office and the DA informed me that the officer didn’t arrive. Before I could even get a word out the DA said since I cancelled on them once, that they were going to cancel on me and that it was going infront of the judge. I told him I just drove 2 hours to be there… he said, “Oh ok, well you’ll get a 220 dollar fine and 2 points on your license.” I tried talking that down and he said he wouldnt drop a 6 pt violation down to no points. He then told me goodluck going infront of the judge and basically said I had no chance in proving I was innocent and told me I’d wind up with a larger fine and more points without any chance to plea. So, I bent over and took my ass raping and ended up paying 300 total with 6 points.

> Second time I was going up near Caroga and passed a car doing 40 in a 55. A trooper came flying around the bend about a mile up the road and didn’t even show any sort of courtesy when he saw I was in the middle of passing a guy. He pulled me over, told me I was speeding but would ticket me for an unsafe pass. I was baited… I skipped court all in general and went to the DA directly before my date. Told her what happened and she threw it right out.

> Third time I got a lawyer for speeding, had it dropped and paid 300 total including lawyer fees.

> Goodluck with whatever you choose though man. Seems like when you’re 18/19 you get caught for everything lol. I havent been pulled over for anything involving a point violation in nearly 5 years though.

that first one should’ve been dismissed on the spot bro.
