Although the violation was reduced I still had to pay the speeding fine.

Daytona500NS Rookie Author Halifax Posts:70 Points:83,590 Joined:May 2011	Message Posted: May 5, 2011 7:39:02 AM Ignore Daytona500NS Report Abuse I pleaded not guilty to my ticket. I never let the cops to be judge and jury on the side of the road. Also I never admit my guilt to the cop, and always ask why he pulled me over right before he introduces himself. Remember, you're on TV!! I always take notes of their badge number and name, take note of the event when it happened, etc. The charges were dismissed by the Judge because of the lack of evidence of speeding. Also, it cost aprrox $3000 to the tax payers per trial over a $250 ticket! Sometimes the Crown will dismiss the ticket before trial.

c12347 Rookie Author Saskatchewan Posts:15 Points:317,400 Joined:Dec 2010	Message Posted: Mar 17, 2011 4:08:51 PM Ignore c12347 Report Abuse The last ticket I got was for a seat-belt violation. I could not argue it, as the officer was correct (I had it on, then had to go back to the house to get something and forgot to put it on again). I was actually complimented by the officer for being so "nice" about it, to which I replied "it is the law, and I was not abiding by it, so why argue?" (at that time it was $165.00 fine) I take my "professional driver" status seriously.
