I don't think anyone annotated this case. You must be looking at annotations from another case.

This case isn't so famous.

Q: I received speeding ticket in Bklyn and pleaded not guilty, can i go to any DMV to re-schedule it or just bklyn dmv?

It was postponed and re-scheduled twice already.. how many times can i re-scheduled it?

Zev Goldstein

answered on Apr 9, 2018

First reschedule can be done online. By the second re-schedule they start to want bail. Be careful! They can grant another re-schedule, and suspend your license pending the hearing. This is a way to force you to plead guilty without a hearing.

Getting a police report changed is difficult. You may want to start with filing a police report that your identity was used by someone other than yourself. If the matter is investigated, that officer will be in a position to request that the accident report be corrected.

all tickets in Brooklyn go to trial, and therefore it will either be dismissed or you will be found guilty.

We fight a lot of these tickets, and it is pretty much a 50/50 chance.
