New York, NY asked in Traffic Tickets for New York

Q: Got a ticket while waiting for court date

I got the first ticket after 14 years of driving for disobeying a stop sign in NYC. I am sure I stopped and the officer lied to me by saying I get no points for this ticket so I pleaded not guilty and was assigned a court date in May. Yesterday I was ticketed for speeding again and I want to plead not guilty to that as well. Is there a connection between the two cases? What is the best course of action?

If you are denied, you can sue the DMV.
