    Default Rolled A Stop Sign, Officer Will Not Be In Court

    My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Georgia

    Background: Hey guys I'm a 19 year old college student at Georgia State, I had just got back from the Doctor where they diagnosed me with a sinus infection and I feel like complete shit. When I got back I was told to go get my little brother from soccer when I rolled a stop sign right outside my neighborhood. It was pretty bad I had to of been going 10-20 miles an hour through it. Officer pulls me over and I explain that I ridiculously sick, I had to go get my brother, blah blah can he work something out for me. He writes me the ticket and then explains that I should go to court and try to get the fine reduced or work with the judge (my first ticket ever). He also said that he will not be there. I thought i had the right to face my accuser? (at least in speeding tickets that is the case).

    Also on the ticket he wrote:

    "LN- said to be sick with a sinus infection"
    "FT- looked sick. POLITE"

    So my question is: What is the best way to go about dealing with this?

    Your first appearance is an arraignment so the officer is not required to be there. If you plead not guilty he will have to show for the trial. I would do what the officer suggested and see what they offer. Nolo is not a good option so don't let them talk you into that.
