Q: I received a “failure to yield to pedestrian” ticket and need advice.

The pedestrian was not in or near the crosswalk as I turned. They stepped in as I turned, and it was too late for me to stop; otherwise, I would have been in the middle of the crosswalk. I was alone in my car. Can I fight this ticket?

Yes you can fight this ticket, but I would definitely suggest a good lawyer as these are hard tickets to fight. Unfortunately the fact that the person stepped in the crosswalk meant that you needed to immediately stop and yield to the pedestrian.

Yes, if an officer has a warrant, probable cause, or exigent circumstances, he can search without asking or stating that he is going to search.
