They pulled me over a few years ago on my way back from Grand Isle—doing 70 in a 60 iIIRC. A few weeks after the ticket, I got a letter from the DA’s office. It included a form they wanted me to sign where I agreed to follow local speed laws, and if I sent in a $150 money order, the offense would be reduced to a non-moving violation and wouldn’t affect my insurance. Again this was years ago so YMMV.

edit: or do like another poster said and call the DA's office and ask them to reduce it to a non moving violation in exchange for paying a fine

I’m sure this has already been discussed, but I came across a video on X where someone was interviewing one of the KA “supporters”. She said, “I have five boys, what am I supposed to tell them?”

Oh I don’t know lady, maybe tell them not to break the fricking law?
