Q: How can i fight a speeding ticket from the Moapa Band of Paiutes?
On 2/7/19 we visited the Valley of Fire. When exiting the park I was pulled over and issued a ticket from a Tribal Officer from the Moapa Band of Paiutes. The officer said he clocked me in 3 different speed zones, all while he was parked near the exit just before I-15. I was given a ticket for $365 and told if I pay before 4/4 nothing gets reported to DMV, "quote it's like it never happened". This whole scenario seemed like a huge tourist trap and honestly a shake down. I would like to know the legality of this ticket and how I can fight it.
A:
If you want to fight this ticket, try re-posting this question in the state of Nevada. Most NY lawyers will not be able to advise you of Nevada law.
If you have a regular NY license, the points won't be added to your NY license if you are convicted of this ticket. If you ignore this ticket, NY may suspend you.
