Facing charges for speeding and drinking while on probation is serious and can lead to significant consequences. Serving 5-6 years in prison is a possibility, but the exact sentence depends on the laws in your state, the details of your case, and your previous record.
Parole might be... View More

How lucky an officer was nearby! I would still file an accident report for insurance purposes. I would also let your insurance know what you indicated here: that you were in fear for your safety and drove away from an unsafe situation. They can determine culpability for the damages. You may also... View More

It would be the prosecuting attorney to whom the request for the reduction in points could be made. You may improve your probability of getting a suitable reduction by proactively engaging in a traffic class offered through court approved providers such as CIMA or ISAE. Different jurisdictions...

If your name was mistakenly put on a traffic ticket intended for another person, the ticket may be dismissed. A new ticket may be issued in the correct name of the person for whom the ticket was intended.

If you retain a Colorado attorney, they can file a motion asking to vacate the warrant and schedule the case for appearance and resolve the ticket. The clearing of the... View More

I was having a customers which all of them agree with me that I make full stop. But the cop keep pushing on giving me a ticket, I wish I have a dash cam, but unfortunately don’t. So what can I do
answered on Jun 1, 2024
Best is to get a traffic ticket attorney. Or you can plead not guilty and subpoena the Uber customers to testify that they saw you make a complete stop. But the Court is not obliged to believe them even if they show up. You will end up with unhappy customers who will complain to Uber. Thank you for... View More

You might be better off talking to the county. Most areas have ordinances regarding street parking. I imagine blocking driveways may be against your local ordinance.
It was believed this ticket was taken care of 15 years ago. In Maury county Tennessee. Recently found out there is no warrant but an amount of money owed.

You should probably go to court and request a reduction of the fines and enter a payment plan. This case arises under traffic ticket law. You need to discuss with an attorney in your jurisdiction that specializes in this kind of law. Thank you for using Justia, Ask a Lawyer.

I think this is more Criminal Law than traffic tickets, you have not indicated that you were cited for any vehicle code violation, although having illegal substances in the care can ALSO be a VC violation. Contact a criminal defense attorney in the area in which you were cited.

Sorry to hear that this happened to you but pleased you were exonerated. Giving him the middle finger probably was not the wisest thing to do. So, do you have a case against the officer for racial profiling or race harassment? Possibly, but without substantial damages, you probably won't get... View More
I have my own insurance policy which states that my insurance will transfer to “non own auto” can I use this as proof of insurance. Also how can I fix the registration violation and the sticker violation?
answered on May 22, 2023
The court should allow your personal insurance as proof of insurance on the date you were driving. As for the registration, you should ask the court to dismiss since you are not the registered owner. Contact a traffic ticket attorney in CO for assistance.

Your first court date is typically just an arraignment date in which you enter a plea of not guilty, no contest or guilty. They will then give you a court date for your trial.
