The trooper did not witness violation in person, Trooper viewed MN-Dot Cameras. Also there were multiple white corvettes on the highway at that time. Trooper pulled over multiple white corvettes. Traffic cam footage was really bad. no way to identify exactly which corvette or driver. Will this... View More

There are two issues here: one is identifying the right vehicle. That depends on the quality of the traffic cam footage. The second issue is identifying the driver. That is likely going to be the stronger issue for you. I would certainly want to see the traffic cam footage if I were in your... View More
Never heard about these violation when being reinstated. Or renewing my license

You don't really provide enough information to answer this question intelligently. I'd suggest speaking directly with a criminal defense attorney. Most will provide a free consultation and can better answer your question with more information.
I was pulled over this morning driving a big rig with my arm on the arm rest smoking the officer said I had a handheld in my hand. When he finished with my inspection he gave it an the ticket to me. The ticket and inspection had two different truck information on it. And the ticket one was wrong

That is not a basis to have the ticket dismissed. Those sorts of errors happen all the time. You should think about challenging the ticket if you were not actually on the phone.
I did find it after the fact. I faxed the proof to the number on the back if ticket twice just to be sure. I didn't realize I also had to send it to another entity because thre ticket didn't tell me to. Thought I was good and went on my way only to be pulled over 5 months later for... View More

It's unclear what exactly you are asking. Each time that you pay a fine on a no proof of insurance or driving after revocation, it is essentially a guilty plea. The revocation time frames on each offense essentially compound and get longer with each plea. I would follow the requirements of... View More
Merged onto I-94 only to see troopers in the median. unsure of my speed but know I was moving with the flow of traffic. Trooper claims 20mph, but before pulling me over he was going in and out of traffic switching lanes racing down the road for ~0.5-1 mile. He then decides to move to the left... View More

Ultimately, the officer only needs reasonable articulable suspicion to pul you over. There would be a police report and either dash cam footage, body cam footage or both of the traffic stop. It is impossible to know why you were pulled over without accessing that information. You can certainly... View More
So I was going 90 on a 65mph and they said that they were gonna send me a letter in the mail telling me if I’m going to pay for the ticket or I’m going to court can I go to jail for this? Even know I’m a teenager.
answered on Mar 11, 2020
Being a teenager doesn’t keep you out of jail, but the charge will keep you out of jail if you only get charged with speeding. Slow down, there’s no reason to be going 90mph.
I recently received this speeding ticket apparently in 2004. I don't understand, why I just got it now? The address I currently live wasn't on my drivers license then. I currently live in a different state from the issued ticket. I'm confused as in what I should do.
answered on Mar 2, 2020
It is unclear what state the ticket is from. You will want to contact an attorney in that state.
Was suppose to send me their evidence and hasn't yet. Court is march 12. The cop didnt actually stop anyone at first, he stopped on the freeway got out of his car and started flagging ppl over. I was in front of him & could see him in my mirror. The truck behind me also stopped. I waited,... View More

Fight it in court, ideally with a lawyer. The discovery request you make to the prosecutor should be written. Then follow their directions to get full discovery. Or your lawyer will. You may be asked to pay copy costs. 80 in a 70 is still guilty, so work on other defenses.
I stopped appropriately behind a school bus, and when that one went, I went too. There was a second bus stopped at the corner, let the first bus by, and then put the stop sign out AS I was passing it and started honking at me. He did not put out the stop arm until I was right next to him. And he... View More

There is no set time for you to receive the ticket and it could take some time. You should expect to get something within a month or so, but that does not mean that you are in the clear.
Error made on license; number is same on both but one has jean which is my middle name and the new license that was reinstated says dean and i had never noticed until being pulled over around xmas and the officer telling me that one is active and the other suspended. Had been pulled over a handful... View More
answered on Feb 17, 2020
You might have a legal argument to prevent the suspensions. I would look into retaining an attorney to look into the situation so the exact facts are known and then to follow up with DVS and if necessary the Court.
answered on Feb 12, 2020
Yes. The incorrect information on the citation is not a silver bullet that will get you out of the ticket. These types of errors happen frequently and my guess is that the traffic stop is either on squad video or body cam footage.
Since its From 4 months ago does she still have to pay, on the ticket shows it shows it must be paid in 30 days, but it wasnt even filed until Jan 13.
answered on Feb 6, 2020
Yes she has to pay it. The fact that there was a delay in issuing the ticket is not a defense.
answered on Feb 1, 2020
A common condition of probation for a DWI is that you not have any driver’s license or insurance violations. This ticket could result in a probation violation. I recommend having an attorney assist you to minimize the consequences of this ticket.
School bus has red lights on, is on the road that has a stopsign to the main road.
answered on Jan 14, 2020
Yes. If the stop arm is extended and the lights are on.
Ask for dismissal?
answered on Jan 10, 2020
These errors are not going to get you out from under the citation. There is likely a police report and perhaps a dash cam/squad video of the traffic stop. Get an attorney if you wish to contest the ticket. An attorney might help you avoid or minimize the consequences for whatever happened here.
the back window. I'm an older woman and tried to put them on, but could not get them to stay. And, I could never get the front one off. They never originally removed my plates. as of now it does not show in the system yet. The ticket says "original" and there is no Officer name or... View More

I would imagine your just facing a fine. The outcome depends on the county where it occurred.
answered on Dec 26, 2019
Not in the least. You need a drivers license to drive. Some types of travel, such as flying, will require a government issued ID.
answered on Dec 19, 2019
A clerical error is not a basis to challenge the ticket, but there might be some other legal issues. Discuss the matter with an attorney.
answered on Dec 19, 2019
Minnesota does not use a point system. But the ticket in California will count against you in MN.
answered on Dec 5, 2019
No. There is no requirement that you sign a ticket when it is issued.
