Ok so I went in for an informal hearing and told the magistrate I pleaded responsible with explanation. Told him I would gladly pay the fine and that I had a clean record, made it obvious I wanted probation or atleast some sort of deduction for the points.
Then out of no where the officer comes in saying he gave me a warning a month prior to this careless driving ticket for the same thing (driving real tired, not paying attention to speed). When I only have seen this officer twice in my life! Night he gave me that official ticket and day of the informal hearing.
I was real mad after I heard this, because he just lied to make me look worse infront of the magistrate. I turned to the officer and told him "You only pulled me over once, I never got a warning before.". Then he turns and says "Maybe you were sleeping" like an asshole. Magistrate asked for evidence of this "warning", officer said "Don't have any". Magistrate says 190$ fine asessed and that was it. No points deducted or probation, nothing!
I believe I still have a week to put in an appeal to this. I ask is this still worth fighting for three points?
Thanks for any help.
If this is in the wrong forum, I apologize.
