JACK!

You got me man! I suggested he take an att. and that makes me a cop hater!

Really don't know why I'm responding except boredom, but you have got to be one of the most intellectualy challanged. knuckle draggers, I've come across on this board.

If you are innocent of the infraction you should contest it!

If you try to contest it without an att. you have a very good chance of losing, oh you might get the fine reduced, but you still lose!

When you go to court and lose, that conviction remains with you. If you just pay the ticket and mail it in, it says maybe you were too busy, or anything else and payed the fine! It's not a conviction.

I'm not a cop hater! I am thankful for the many, well trained, dedicated people we have in this state. I treat them all with the utmost of respect they have a very tough job.

That being said I also keep in mind that most small town cops are just that! (small town cops) Very dangerous and under trained. They have a tremendous amount of authority, and were not capable of meeting the requirements to qualify for a job in enforcement with a real police force.

I am very careful when I deal with them!

Been driving since 1960, a respectful attitude and honesty has gotten me way further than trying to argue on the hiway. I went to court one time with out an att. It was a joke! Only guy on my side was me. Cop, prosecuter, judge all work in the same building. They reduced the fine by $20 and told me to have a nice day!

Next time I took an att. The cop didn't even show up.

ps. I was innocent both times!
