I have a Petty Misdemeanor Conviction from May 2017 under Minnesota Statute 169.14.2(a)(3) for "Traffic - Speeding - Exceed Limit 55 mph Where Appropriate 65/55" as I had paid off the fine ($118) without appearing in the court. Now in June 2023, I wanted to know how can I remove this... View More

You would want to pursue an expungement of the conviction. An attorney can assist with this. It is doubtful that the Court would allow you to withdraw the guilty plea this many years after the fact. The expungement would remove the conviction off of your driving record.

You're ultimately asking the wrong question here. The question is not can you get a CFD, but will you get a CFD. The biggest problem you face here is that you were allegedly driving 16 mph over the speed limit. The fact that you are outstate also makes a CFD less likely. You can certainly... View More
I was told to pay it after ten days of it being in the system (it’s been 5 days since the ticket)

Most would prefer to keep a speeding ticket off of their Minnesota driver's license record. To accomplish that, the ticketed driver must avoid paying the ticket, and instead set up a "hearing officer" appointment (in the metro area) or a court appearance to discuss settlement... View More

One idea: Go to the Minnesota Courts website, to search for the case "Citation Number." See if it's there, and it so, what it says. Respond within the required time frame to prevent a conviction by default. Set up a court appearance if keeping it off the record is a goal.
I recenty got a seatbelt ticket in Olmsted County. I paid the ticket in full. A week or two later, I received a late notice from Olmsted County Court Administration in regards to this citation. So, I called Olmsted County Court Administration to inquire about this late fee. The lady looked it up... View More

I am assuming that the ticket was paid electronically. I would go to court administration with the electronic verification showing the date and amount of the payment. Hopefully that should clear up any confusion regarding whether you made the payment or not.
I got a ticket for texting while driving in January 23. I paid the ticket and found out that it affects my ability to drive at my work and I need to get it off my record so that I can continue driving for my company.

That was difficult to follow. Perhaps a phone call to a criminal defense attorney would enable a dialogue that could help tease out the issues.

Not likely. They can fix any mistakes (perhaps using the video). And alerting the them to mistakes prior to trial usually is just helping them, not you. Therefore, when I have such a case, I pursue the other defense issues and strategies, but save mistakes for use at the trial (assuming they have... View More

The question raises the issue of whether the police officer has a reasonable suspicion to justify the initial stop. If a judge agrees the police officer did not, then the charges would be dismissed. Lawyers are trained in law school to generally avoid contacting non-clients about representation,... View More

There isn't really a question here. Plus it is not a products liability issue. I'd suggest reaching out to some consumer protection folks directly to deal with this issue.
However, the first ticket (Speeding ticket) was issued on August 2021 then the next two was issued on September 2022(Speeding ticket) and October 2022(Moving violation) then the recent speeding ticket was March 2023(Speeding ticket). I have received a warning letter after the first 3 tickets. As... View More

It is unclear whether you have paid these tickets or resolved them. But in any event, I do not believe that you are at risk under the provision of four within 12 months. But you are at risk if you get another ticket between now an August 2023. The other issue you are going to run into is that... View More
Ticket issue to me, registration under me even now I either want the vehicle at this point or be compensated the value due to this matter, the vehicle register says I own it I’m not sure who the actual owner is but the car says it’s registered to me this is fraud correct ?
answered on Mar 7, 2023
Your question is a little confusing. But you should certainly notify the state where the ticket was issued that you never ended up purchasing the car and you should provide them with information on who the owner is. If you do that, the ticket against you should be dismissed. You could also... View More

Unfortunately, Minnesota has an "implied consent" law, that allows the state to administratively revoke the driver's license upon an alleged chemical test refusal (separate and in addition to the DWI-criminal law). That statute requires any legal challenge to that administrative... View More

Normally a criminal or traffic case will be properly venued where the alleged incident happened. If a case is filed in a different state or county, the defendant could move the judge for an Order dismissing or changing venue. You could look for a form on the court's website, or consult (or...

Most people want to prevent a traffic violation conviction, in order to prevent one being added to their Minnesota driver's license record as a moving violation. If the defendant can resolve their traffic case with a "Continuance Without a Plea" ("CWOP") a/k/a a... View More
Trooper got me on radar going 76 in a 60mph zone. I was on a 2 way highway but in a passing zone so I had sped up to overtake the vehicle in the slow(right) lane.

Many people prioritize keeping a speeding ticket conviction off of the their DRIVER'S LICENSE record. Minnesota's "Dimler speeding provision" can provide an opportunity to do just that. But it may not always apply for all drivers cited for 65 or less in a 55 or 60 mph zone: CDL... View More

In Minnesota, a conviction for speeding 74 in a 65mph speed limit would bo on the court's record and the Driver's License Record. (Then the insurance companies will know.) The way to avoid that would be to set up a court appearance rather than pay the fine. Then try to resolve the case... View More

It's personal decision. I would fight every traffic charge in an effort to either avoid a conviction being certified to the driver's license record. And having a clean record for the past 3-5 years will help in that effort. Also, any time a person is involved in a traffic collusion,... View More

Police can have RADAR speed measuring devices with a rear facing antenna, but not all do. A common issue with RADAR-based speed enforcement is the police officer's basis for identifying which vehicle was being measured by the RADAR machine. That issue tends to be situation specific (e.g.,... View More
