I was driving down Delaware and got pulled over by a Kenmore Police Officer for using my cell phone. I couldn’t tell you the last time I had a ticket and its my first ticket for this offense. My court date is the 18th and wondering if I should plead not guilty or just send it in? Any ideas? ---

I got a cell phone ticket almost 3 years ago and just sent it in since I couldn’t take the day off for court. It stays on your record for 3 years I believe so it has caused my insurance to go up a little. For me it should be coming off my record soon. ---

I think everyone in WNY has met a Kenmore cop at least once. They make enough money on tickets so they don’t levy property taxes. ---

In Amherst, I plead guilty and just paid the $150 fine to the court clerk. No points no sitting in court for 3 hours. The again this was like 3 years ago so the law might have changed. Call the court and find out. ---

I got a cell phone and inspection ticket this year driving Newmans E30, It was kenmore court. I sent in the ticket not guilty got another court date went in 40 mins early(do this) was out in half hour before the time I was scheduled for. It was dropped down to a $50 parking ticket and I went on my way. Fastest/cheapest court I’ve been too in a while. ---

Anyone saying things that happened in the past are outdated. The law changed in July so anything that happened before then it was just a simple violation. They changed it this summer. ---

Kenmore courts are such a money grab. If you live in Kenmore, the cops usually let you off with a warning. Everybody else gets a ticket just about every time. The only time I actually got a ticket in Kenmore was before I lived here. I went to court and got shit reduced. From what I heard from other people, they usually reduce tickets if you do go to court. It was the fastest court I’ve ever been as well. ---

Yikes sucks with the new laws. 2 years ago I had a cell phone ticket $50 dollar fine no points 🙂 Of course this is my first ticket ever lol. I thought you always plead not-guilty. My excuse was, I was using the device to get a map of where something was. and I misunderstood the hands free meant hands free law. Judge totally bought it. ---
