I got pulled over for running yellow light, but weird thing happened?

kidkotic2001

Just like you say Dreamer, In Texas we have traffic lawyers that handle it for us. I payed from 50 to 75 bucks to get the ticket dismissed.

OP: You might look into that in your area.

In Florida, Uniform Traffic Citations require a signature only for traffic misdemeanor and felony violations. Just because you sign it--and I'm sure this goes into effect for all states--does not constitute admission of guilt; merely an agreement that action will be taken upon the issued citation, whether to pay it, request a hearing, or elect to take traffic school.

I'd say don't waste your money on an attorney. You get the same thing accomplished by representing yourself, and for the effort you'd likely get adjudication withheld (no points assessed) anyway with only court cost to be paid (and partially the citation cost). An attorney usually consults with the issuing Officer and come to an agreement that the case wound not be contested, thus bypassing trial.

In NJ receiving a "ticket" is nothing but a court summons and not an admission of guilt. You have the option to admit to guilt and pay the fine with out going to court. Or you can go to court and contest the officers testimony (the complaining witness) and have a judge decide guilt or innocence.

If this had happened you'd remember signing your name. Must be a bad dream.

Like what olddudesrule said, I will pay it and move on, but it really depends on what theDreamer said, the fine for the ticket. If it is like $300 or more, I def need to fight for it. and theDreamer, do you know anyone who can do $75 flat for my ticket (if I get it) in NJ area? thanks

I don't get it. It's not the ticket that matters, it's the insurance is going to eat you up. You'd be surprised how much extra $$ you would be paying for the insurance company over the years. We are not talking about the hundreds we are talking about the thousands. Fight it. At least don't get points on your driver's license.

On the other hand just FYI... when you see a yellow light, law says you are supposed to stop instead of beating it. So be prepare to explain that on the court.

Tips for the future... When you see a yellow light 1)Stop. Don't try to beat it. And you will never get into trouble in the first place. 2)If you "have to" run yellow, make sure your break lights are on so that you could at least pretend to be innocent that you "tried" to stop but...

and, last August, I had 2 points on my license, and now it is September after a year passed. I heard 2 or 3 points go away if I had no moving violations within that one year, which I never had. So I'm guessing I have a clean record??

I hope so, brother. When I got my ticket just south of Seattle back in 2011 (47 in a 35), they dropped it from my record because I went 6 months without getting pulled over.

theDreamer

I don't know any in the NJ area, sorry.
You might hit up the local section on the forum here and ask.

If you are still unsure if the ticket was actually issued go to, or call, the courthouse records office or the sheriffs office and find out what is going on.

I was actually planning to do that! I'm going to wait maybe another 2~3days and call them. Thanks!

Go to court and ask the DA personally (if record is clean) to either dismiss or drop to a defective vehicle...(aka taillight out, headlight....). Tell them your story and go from there...no cost to you and looks better cause you're trying to be honest and say there was no need to hire a lawer to prove your case. Good luck buddy!!
