Government cumo said there was a government order that police could not stop or ticket for expired inspection stickers until November 3rd 2020 was this an illegal stop

If your inspection sticker expired after March 31, 2020, you had until 12/1/2020 to get your inspection. But you needed to go to court to fight it. You could try to reopen the case. Contact a local attorney.
I was given a ticket for VTL-1111D1 by an officer claiming I passed a red light. he was sitting at the corner of the intersection which already has a traffic camera. I entered the intersection when it was still yellow light but the intersection was wide (4 lines) so by the time I passes it... View More

Whether you have a case is, unfortunately, not the real issue. This is an administrative tribunal. The judge is an employee of the agency and is pressured to find people guilty. Your proof would have to be so overwhelming that the judge would be willing to jeopardize his job to find you not... View More

The police officer's reason to stop you was the alleged speeding and your license was suspended at that time. That's how you would have received the summons for both speeding and operation while suspended. The officer's request to move your car after that won't change the... View More

What kind of type your "electric scooter" is must be addressed. Assuming that it's an e-scooter, there is a speed restriction in NYC. If you go above the speed limit, then it can be a violation. You won't need a plate for it. It cannot be registered in NYC, so no license plate... View More
Could not move my car because, I was in intensive care; at the time, the car needed to be moved for alternate side of the street parking; Hit at the same hour, when the car needed to be moved.

The fact you were unable to physically move your car will probably not be a defense to dismiss the ticket. However, sometimes, a parking ticket is written defectively (missing some info or containing inaccurate description, etc.), which can be a ground for dismissal. Also, you can dispute the... View More

In NY, speeding alone is not reckless unless there is another issue as well. This is sometimes called the "speeding plus" rule.
Sent the ticket in immediately. Then was offered a reduction by the DA. I want to withdraw my plea and accept the DAs offer. Where can I find the correct form needed.

The common route taken in your situation will be filing a motion to vacate with the court which basically asks the court to "undo" your plea to the original charge. In local courts (town courts, village courts, etc), the judge has the discretion to grant (allow) or deny (refuse) the... View More
I got pulled over last week in NYC for seat belt violation the officer printed one ticket and few days later i went online to plea and pay it but i saw two same tickets for same violation and i also received them by mail, that should definitely be an error by dmv, what should i do about it? thanks!
answered on Nov 2, 2021
Seat belt violations in NY can be tricky. If the duplicate tickets are indeed 2 sets of the same ticket (same summons#, same violation sections, same locations, same officer, same issuance time), then there is a chance that they were issued in error, but if not, there maybe a legitimate reason you...

The cop didn't had any possible view of the alleged light I crossed.
He made assumption based on the other light that changed, but he didn't physically saw the exactly light I allegedly crossed. He gave me ticket, is it a defense to say that cop didn't see my light and had no... View More

Yes, but:
If that police officer knows the area, they might know that those two lights are synchronized.

Seatbelt offense can be tricky. It's likely that you get 2 points assessed on your NJ license for the seatbelt offense in NY even though you can get assessed more points if a NY driver in NYS depending on the ages of the parties involved in the offense.
I got a ticket for registration and inspection being expired. But the license plate number on the ticket is my old license plate from years ago. I don’t know how they got those plate numbers because it hasnt been my license plates for years. It’s not on my registration ticket. No I wasn’t... View More

So the ticket was issued to the car for being parked on the street? Could be the cop ran the vin number.
I picked up phone and continued talking, then officer pulled me over and gave me a ticket. If I bring a doctors note will judge still make me pay fine?
answered on Oct 5, 2021
Yes, you will have to pay a fine but you can see if it can be reduced. A cell phone violation is 5 points on your license.

New York State law requires the wearing of a helmet whiole riding a bicycle. You can get a summons for not wearing one.
I got pulled over by an unmarked PA State Trooper (the ticket says he was in a marked vehicle). He verbally told me I was going 64 in a 55, then issued me a ticket for 60 in a 55 to "do me a favor" since I otherwise have a clean driving record. In the confidential info section, he tries...

In New York, if a police officer files a report that you are physically unable to drive, the DMV will start an administrative proceeding to revoke your license.

I do not see a question here. We need more detailed descriptions of the issue.
I am getting a plea bargain application with the original charge of speeding 1180D and the reduced charge of 1110 A Disobeying Tfc Device. Should I accept it or decline it?

Thank you for your question. Generally, when you miss a court date (in NY) for a traffic ticket, the court can either give you the opportunity for another court date or notify NYS DMV that you failed to appear and request that they suspend your New York driving privileges. NYS DMV will then send... View More
