My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Texas
Me and my friend are driving and I'm on the passenger seat. We are in a tiny car (2 door-smart car). A State trooper pulls us over and says that the driver and the passenger (me) didn't have their seatbelt on. It was obvious he couldn't see through the car. The driver explains to the police officer that, I put on the seatbelt, when I saw you, but the reason I didn't have it on is because I had surgery last week. Than he goes on and explains that the passenger (me) had his seatbelt on since he got in the car. I tell him, sir you can check your camera and check if I had it on, I swear to God, he says the camera doesn't point inside the car (exactly why we have corrupt cops, they believe them without any proof). Plus we look like "PUNK KIDS", my friend had plugs in his ears and I had earrings. I hate how people judge you from your looks. Me and the driver graduated from high school, on the top of our class, we just don't look "nerdy". He refuses to believe both of us and says I want to see both of yours drivers license. I simply say, I do not have a drivers license but I have an expired ID (immigration problems occurred last year for me and I am unable to renew it, until my immigration case goes on). I AM 17 years old. He says it doesn't matter, just give me any type of identification. Now the thing is, since I am not a US citizen, I always wanted to keep my record clean. My dad's friend is a police officer and I explained him the situation, I told him I have no Drivers license, he is like thats a big benefit, because without a drivers license, it can't go on your driving record because you don't have one, is that true?
PLEASE ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS:
If I pay for the ticket, which is not a problem for me, will it be off my record? If they just want the money, I'll give it to them. But if it stays on my record, there's no point.
If i fight this ticket, will their be a problem because I have an expired ID? Can I just show them my school ID? I recently graduated High School. I also have a Social Security Number. (My immigration file is so messed up, I have a social security number but not an ID, I KNOW -_-)
Thanks you guys! I'm just so scared...I really disappointed my parents. Don't know what to do.
