This isn't really correct. You can contest the speeding ticket all you want, it's called pleading not guilty and showing up to court. Here in Minnesota (not sure about other states) they also have satellite court locations where you can go and talk to a court official about the ticket instead of actually going to court. They present with you a few different options. You can pay the speeding ticket and in essence plead guilty and it goes on your driving record. Or you can schedule an actual court date to contest the ticket and take your chances with a judge. Or you can pay a slightly higher fine (I did this, my actual ticket was $120 and the higher rate was $150) but all you pay is the fine and it doesn't count as a guilty plea. So the speeding ticket doesn't go on your record as long as you don't have another driving violation in the next 12 months.

Also, if you contest it and go to the court house a lot of times you can win. It depends on a few factors, really.

1. Time of day (this is huge, seriously)
2. Judge
3. Prosecutor
4. Amount of fine

A lot of times the prosecutor will work with you before the court hearing actually starts and offer you a deal to get you out of the court room. Also, if the cop doesn't show up, in general the judge won't rule against you because they figure if the cop can't be bothered to show up then it's not really worth the hassle of giving you the ticket and enforcing it. However, keep in mind, this is just a general thing. It doesn't necessarily mean the judge won't rule against you even if you show up and the cop doesn't.

What I meant was, I don't see how any evidence could be presented outside of a technicality.

I read an article in the Trib about paying a higher fine. I thought it was a lot more expensive than $30.

Speaking of tickets, I got to meet one of Alexandria, Louisiana's finest as I was heading from Baton Rouge to Shreveport.:twisted:

As a Redskins fan, the only way tonights game is a success is if both teams QBs blow out their knees. lol

i kid i kid, i wish no harm onto anyone.

Bob Griffin looks good. Not in that gay way, in that athletic football sense way.


I'm missing my annual 4 team draft.
I was thinking about maybe running one in the MT.

First 8 guys, pick 4 teams, down and back draft, random draw for picks.
Total +/- for the season. Would there be any interest?

I'll send the winner a couple autos.
