Ticketed for failing to stop at a stop sign

**Shakeita** · 12-13-2005, 09:20 AM

Well here goes .... I was coming into an intersection where it was hard to see ... I stopped at the stop sign as I was supposed to and eased up like I thought I was supposed to until I saw that it was clear for me to cross the intersection. When I saw that it was clear I went ahead and crossed but I also noticed a police car approaching form the left I knew I had enough time to safely cross the intersection so I did so. The office pulled me over and said I failed to make a complete stop. My issue is that the office was so far back that he couldn't see me stop at the stop sign he could only see me as I crossed the intersection. What should I do ? In addition, this officer did not fill out the back of my citation, there isnt a check saying if I have to appear in court or not and there is no fines listed. Is this citation valid under North Carolina law ? If anyone knows please please please help me out. email me replies please because I'm at college right now and wont have everyday access to a computer because the semester is about to come to a close . shakeita_kenon@yahoo.com .. Thanks in advance

You don't think the officer could have seen you make a rolling stop - but you admit that you made a rolling stop, and apparently the officer did see you.

There should be instructions on or with the ticket, explaining how to contest it or otherwise to pay it.
