you have to either have it fixed and bring it to the police station and have a cop sign off on it, or have a shop write you out a letter on letterhead saying they fixed it for you and bring it in withing 24 hrs ---

Well, in Amherst it works like this: [http://www.amherst.ny.us/police/faq.htm](http://www.amherst.ny.us/police/faq.htm) > Equipment Violation - the court will consider dismissal of tickets written for New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law sections 375, 376, or 381 if proof is presented to the court that the defect was corrected prior to 1/2 hour after sunset on the first full business day after issuance of the ticket. I got an unsafe tire ticket a while back (my new tires were on order at the time), went home, slapped on 4 UNMATCHING tread but legal tread depth tires, took the car over to APD on my lunch hour the next day, and had the ticket dismissed. The cop signed off and told me to take the form right over to the court and hand it in. I’m guessing it’s similar in all townships. ---

just go to a shop that will charge you $10 and write you a reciept saying they welded a stock muffler back on. many shops will take $10 for not doing any work. ---
