Sure you'll get off he probably just wrote the ticket as a joke
heck he probably was pretending to be a cop
or if he really was a cop he was probably off duty
and of course the universe doesnt want your insurance to go up so there is no way it will stick

You know what i always do when I get a ticket? I plead NOT GUILTY and then the court gives me a court date which i have to appear in court. Most of the time the cop never shows up for the court date cause they are busy or whatever, then if the cop never shows they drop the ticket. has worked for me many many times they almost never show up for court.

Or sometimes when they give me a court date to appear at, ill call the court and tell them i cant make the court date so they push it back even further. By this time i have been in the system for a while and the cop totally forgot about the ticket he worte me 5 months ago and surely he wont show up.

^This works about 80% of the time. If you have the time it might be worth it, but depending on how your local system works it can consume a lot of time.

Yes, you could get off on this but you have to be clever and maybe have a lawyer friend. I got two tickets in two weeks last fall. Got one (45 in a 25 zone) switched to expired tabs and the other was for 30 mph over the speed limit that I got down to 5 over.

They are strictly interested in generating funds, I just had my lawyer call them and say I was willing to still pay the fee or a little more to get it moved to a non moving violation so my insurance wasnt raised. That way they still make their money which is their only concern.

"Your honor, I do not drive and have never driven a Del Sol"

Judge: " So you are telling me that you werent driving that vehicle the officer pulled over"

" Yes your honor, but if the officer's eyesight is so poor that he could not distringuish the model of the car parked 20 feet away or read the model that matched that license plate on his computer, we really cant be sure he could read the radar gun correctly now can we?"

in massachusetts, i tried to pull this "cop not showing up crap" and they had one officer there to represent the state and handle all the contested violations. i also tried to contest a ticket in vermont, that shady state, they mailed the date of the court after the date and i got fined even more for missing the court date, unfortunately i was leaving the area and didn't have time to contest it further, so i left being extra penalized.
