Nonmoving violation traffic ticket

I just got one of these, do I just pay the fine or do I take it to court. I think if i push a minor traffic ticket all the way to court it might get dropped. Thoughts?

Is it worth your time?
Be a punk and the prosecutor can drag it out.

I found out if you pay a lawyer $100-150 per ticket, the ticket gets thrown out most of the time.
I never used to retain a lawyer for traffic offenses, now I do for everything.

Funny how that works huh?
(FTR I agree with this)
Ive often wondered though if attorneys just go ask politely that it be reduced and pay a half price fee and keep half of what you pay them for what is literally a 2 min stop and conversation at sosomewhere they were already going to be for other more lucrative cases.

I don't get how they do it either. My gf just had gotten a 55 in a 35 coming off of Causeway.
The lawyer charged her $100 and the ticket was thrown out. 20 over is usually close to $375 when you pay it and court costs.
I'll always get a lawyer from now on.

I've got no problem with that. He has the relationship and the knowledge. For $150 it stays off my record. Win/win.
Seems fair.

where'd the OP go? Wondering what kind of non moving violation he got cited for.

I was trying to say that the da may very well do the same thing if its minor enough if I were to go inquire about it personally, and reduce it to a seat belt ticket or something like that. If you pay an attorney $100 and they just get it reduced and pay the fine for you they are still up $75 and didnt have to go thru any extra work, except stopping by for 2 minutes and asking.

But this was ultimately the point, except that there isn't necessarily any technical knowledge involved in lots of cases

Best advice that I can give you, don't fight city hall.

Yes, it might. But most of those tickets cost less than what I lose for spending a day with the trash in the courthouse.

I responded honestly with all of my posts.
You don't think you're being a little sensitive?
ETA: Just re-read my posts. I wasn't a smart aleck at all. Lighten up.
