Asked in Traffic Tickets and Civil Rights for Mississippi

Q: I had a warrant from evading a state trooper, but it wasn't me. Only have witnesses

Basically I had a warrant because someone either driving my car, or with a car like mines was running from highway patrol.. so I have all these tickets, but I have witnesses that was with me the whole time. Between my tag being stole the day before, and dropping my car off at the body shop earlier, I know it wasn't me.. im lost, can't afford a lawyer and only have my witness. What do I need to do

A: I would still contact a lawyer. Most lawyers on here, myself included, offer free consultations to see how we can help out, and may be willing to work with you.

That being said, if you have the witnesses and documentation, that should be enough to establish reasonable doubt so that you would not be found not guilty.
