Re: Beat: a ticket out of **** nowhere
I got a bunch of speeding tickets in a few different states last week driving to foxwoods and back to canada. Im planning on just throwing them out, is this a bad idea in any way? I have an Ontario Drivers liscence.

Re: Beat: a ticket out of **** nowhere
In NJ it's legal for them to pull you over for just a seatbelt violation.
Sounds like New York's running out of money. You should've told him you left your NYPD hat at home.

Chances are that he won't show up in court. But yeah, if he does then you're screwed. [/ QUOTE ] I don't know about other places, but in Texas they get OT so they'll definately be in court.

Re: Beat: a ticket out of **** nowhere
Not sure how it works in the US, but in Ontario whenever i get a ticket i just have an 'agent' (read: friend) attend the court date for me and reschedule (any excuse works: personal business, important meeting, etc). after enough reschedulings, the cop wont show up and BOOM your home free.

Obviously a lot of 6th level(doucy?) douchebag cops pull over anyone for this just for the [censored] of it. But its really designed to give cops probable cause when there otherwise is none. Its great because theres no way in hell you can contest this. In cook county illinois (county chicago is in) its illegal to talk on the cell phone while driving. This is pretty much the same thing. Lots of people get caught up by the 6th level douchebags, but its really just a loophole law.

Re: Beat: a ticket out of **** nowhere
The are only going to be in court if you Subpoena them. They are not required to be there otherwise.
Once you do subpoena them, your chances of them not showing are higher if: 1) The Court does NOT reschedule the court date to accomodate them (many do this) 2) If they don't work near the courthouse, etc One thing you can do to increase your chances of success is changing the court date after you subpoena the cop. Technically you will need to re-subpoena, but usually the judge won't notice when you are in court. I have gotten out of over 8 of the 10 tickets I received over the last 2 years. I went the first 4-5 years of my driving life NEVER getting a ticket and then in the last 2 years the floodgates opened.
