Can I get the ticket dismissed as a city employee?
It could be worth discussing in more detail with an experienced traffic ticket attorney. Overall, there is a high level of positive sentiment and appreciation toward public transportation employees because of the risks they face in providing all of us with vital services 24/7 and keeping the City...

It should, but good luck getting the TVB to follow it.
How many years woud you have him serve?
What class are you doing this for and where.
I have a video car hit me. Police said I hit the car
Depending on the facts it sounds like you could have a very strong case. You'll want to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to go over the facts.
8 years ago, I was pulled over in my employer landscaping pickup( no trailer). I was running late that morning and he surprised me with a vehicle I never drove before which was preloaded with equipment. My License was suspended for this got suspension lifted before paying fine .Pick up truck had... Read more »
Why did you get pulled over? None of the tickets is a moving-violation. Dirty license plate? You can fight the tickets if the original traffic stop is illegal (and you will need a lawyer for this).
If not fighting, explain respectfully, without "I'm the victim, this is not... Read more »
In the violation part of the ticket it just says speeding over limit
It CAN be dismissed.
So I was on the highway and was pulled over for speeding and failure to use turn signals and for my tints. The cop did not give me a ticket for speeding and gave me a ticket for failure to use turn signals and tints. If i plead not guilty and go to court can he bring up the fact that I was speeding...

Signal violation (VTL 1163) is an independent violation. Unless you have also been charged with reckless driving (VTL 1212) or following too closely/tailgating (VTL 1129), etc, the fact of speeding itself will not be relevant to your signal violation.

If you were walking and were asked to blow for being intoxicated its different than driving.

The answer depends on the facts and circumstances of your case. Generally, a traffic stop/violation itself does not suffice for the officer to search your vehicle.
The ticket was issued in the town of Brant NY. I was in the left lane overtaking a vehicle in the right.
1) The trooper that issued the ticket set a date for 6 days from the issue date.
Is that allowed?
2) The NYS trooper was not wearing a mask while approaching the... Read more »
1) Yes.
2) They are suppose to wear masks for certain exceptions. However, the officer's non-compliance will not help you as a defense for the speeding charge.
Hello,
I travelled to Newyork for vacation and got two tickets Avoca Town(speed in zone,failed to use designated lane). I was overtaking a car using the right lane(2 lane freeway) and so the speed was also a little above the limit . It's interrelated but I got two tickets. Kindly help... Read more »
First, 20 miles over the speed limit is more than "a little" above the limit. You list Manhatten as the place, but I do not believe there is any 65 mph zone in Manh. The place you got the ticket is important because NY handles tickets differently in different counties and towns. In some... Read more »
I got the speeding ticket in weschester county. There's a court date on it. Do I need to go and what should I do, plead guilty or not guilty? Since i'm switching my license to Connecticut in a couple weeks will it affect it? Also will points get transfered over?
So if I were you I’d just hire an attorney (my office and others here handle them). Allow an attorney to defend the ticket and or negotiate it down to some kind of infraction to minimize or eliminate any points. The points will follow you so it’s the worst thing to do to plead guilty. Feel... Read more »
In Staten island NY, parked my car at the very end of a bus stop (50 ft from 1st sign) came back to my car and had a Ticket, I noticed a pole to the right of me with a missing sign, there were a line of cars directly behind me, I googled the street and it showed that once there was a bus stop sign...

You make a valid point with a missing sign, and you provided photos as proof. It could sometimes be difficult to predict exactly how the City will rule, but it looks like you did everything in your power to present a persuasive case. Good luck

Not having a supporting deposition is not grounds for dismissal. You can request one when you send in your not guilty plea. Often, a supporting deposition is the second page of the ticket, sometimes even attached to it. You could try to use the fact that the trooper said it was there but... Read more »
I was pulled over in a 30 MPH zone and the cop said he got me at 61 MPH. I wasn't looking at my radar but from my peripheral vision, I don't believe I was going over 60. I know that in NY that one more MPH is a much larger fine, the cop was trying to bump my ticket up to the next level. I... Read more »

I only got a response from the court over 1 year and 2 months later. Is the ticket still valid if the court takes that long to respond?
Yes. Traffic tickets, in some counties, can take many months (or even years) to get a court date.
Would I be correct is saying that if I request discovery from the Prosecutor/State Police Officer and they do not provide me with what I ask, they subsequently would not be allowed to present the previously requested evidence in court?
I think you mean if you request a supporting deposition. Sometimes it's already on the ticket. You're well advised to have an attorney handle this matter for you. I know it may seem funny coming from an attorney. However, very often those prosecuting traffic tickets will negotiate... Read more »
Do I need a lawyer or just pay the fee?
What do you do? Reach out to an attorney for a quick consult. Many attorneys would offer you a free initial consult to outline your options and their fees. You could locate attorneys in or near the county where this happened in the Find-a-Lawyer tab above, or you could search independently online.... Read more »
