A: If you want court supervision it will not go down as a conviction. That may cost more than a conviction but I don't see why you think a conviction would be $500 if that's what you are suggesting.

A: You should try to have the ticket reduced to a non-moving violation in Arkansas. That would prevent the ticket from effecting your driving record.

A: You need to hire an Arkansas attorney to appear in court for you and see if your ticket can be amended to a non-moving violation.
