Plead not guilty and ask to talk to the prosecutor. You’ll get a pretrial date and you can explain what happened. Or you can have a lawyer do this for you. It’s not uncommon for such cases to result in a dismissal.

It’s kind of unclear where you are in the process. If you paid the ticket, it’s basically over. If you haven’t and can still go to court, you shouldn’t simply plead no contest, you should ask for a chance to speak with a prosecutor about reducing or dismissing the ticket.

I'm not sure what private property has to do with cameras. You caused destruction of property. The police may investigate that. If they find you are driving under suspension with no insurance, likewise. You are looking at a looooooooooooooong suspension, as the Judge may figure the first one... View More

That’s not a great case for the state especially if there was a second driver on scene who could have been driving you truck. I wouldn’t be surprised if the officer’s version of events is different from yours.
