My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: California
Hi ,
I got a speeding ticket (was going 60, while posted was 45). Have got a arraignment date after 2 days . I have got this speeding ticket within last 18 hrs but my courtesy notice says “Eligible for School”. My main intention is to bring down the amount or ask for community service etc. I have a job but ending soon. Just few questions –
1. I have few reasons that cop didn’t show my car no on radar and the road situation like it was on a bridge. Would it be better to just go and plead guilty or ask for a trial ?.
2. I think cops don’t show up on arraignment date but they have to on Trial. Would it better to ask for trial & hope cop doesn’t show up or put this valid but not good reasons ?
3. Or should I try finding more reasons by ordering discovery request etc that might can help in Trial ?. Also how about Trial by Declaration
4. What if I say I don’t have job and then plead guilty ?.
Thanks
