i got a farkin speeding ticket tonight  , now im not sure about your laws i.e. where you live and such, BUT are they supposed to mark on teh ticket how the number ( the mph they clocked you at) was obtained, ie radar pacing etc etc etc, cause on my ticket six choices NONE marked. ( contemplating fighting it. bsides he said hed claim i was 44 in a 35 not 50+ 

sometimes it can be worth it to at least plead your case to the judge.

yeah go ahead and fight it........but don't expect that to get you off............simple mistake

Tell the Judge you were Drunk and the Officer was Taking Advantage of the Situation. Hey They can't Lock you up since you aren't in court for Drunk Driving and it's really really really make the Occifer look bad.

Ummmm,  you are a f%$king retard.
A court can use an admission as a basis for arrest, at least in the real world.

Would you please go back to screwing pigs jughead, when you post it makes my head hurt.

several clerical errors on it, bsides that one. idk i might fight it, then again, i was speeding Soooo if teh fine is NOT that bad, i might just pay it and be done, tehn again i DO have to go to court, for the no proof of insurance, ( which i do have, btw), sooooo idk i got a month to think

unlikely the judge will let you off due to clerical errors. more likely they'll laugh at you, unless you have a lawyer, but then it'll cost you more than if you'd paid the ticket (including insurance increases). I dont know where you're at but a)there are lots of online help sites for getting out of tickets, b) in Ca they have Trial By Declaration (written trial). you submit a written testimony, cop does same and judge reads them to decide verdict. if you lose that, you can ask for new trial and take a second chance at the cop not showing.

I beat 2 of 4 that way.

agreed pablo , ive got roughly a month to figure out what to do, so im contemplating figuring out wth to do 

I just had my hearing for my speeding ticket on the GS.

I lost   

Instead of pointing out the officers mistake (makes it worse) Your best bet is to try and plead guilty to a lesser offense. like disobeying a traffic sign 

Yeah, at least down here the DA will often do that as long as you are willing to pay an increased fine.  I've done that with a few 20+ overs, and pled to 14 over because 14 over is no points............

Only point out an officers mistake if it was a procedural or legal violation and you have the case law in your hand, because if the judge has to come down to believing you or the cop, the cop wins.

Call an attorney in your area and ask for advice.  Taking advice from people that aren't A) attorneys and B) in your jurisdiction is like taking dance lessons from your butcher. 

ditto

Jake:  I don't know how it is up in MO, but around here attorneys get pretty tired of dispensing 'free' advice over the phone and usually give very poor advice through that media as they aren't at all attentive to the issue.  Just my experience.
