Q: I was pulled over and I have court today for "unlawful use of license plate and tabs" and "failure to transfer title"
What do you think will happen in court. What pled should I do. (I've been having a big financial problems, and I had to get to work one way or another, a bus doesn't go out to were I live, I live on my own and nobody can give me rides.)
A: No attorney can provide you advice without knowing more about your situation. In general, you should plead "not guilty" even if you committed the crime as doing so will better preserve your rights. However, pleading guilty or not guilty carries serious weight and equally serious outcomes. You will need a person by your side who understands how to navigate those outcomes and seek the best possible result in your case - in other words, you need an attorney.
