from what it looks like, you decided to go to trial right? If so and you have a lawyer he will probably get you off, or you will have to pay a fine. But it beats loosing your DL. Then also the jury could fine you not gulity, and you could just walk away. Just hope for the best, I havent been involved with anything in fulton county. But I have heard their cops dont show up a lot, because they are so short staffed.Originally Posted by Nemesis

I dont have a lawyer, because even if Im found guilty nothing except losing some money is at stake and slightly higher insurance, so I dont want to pay 1000+ dollars a lawyer for something like this. But I chose a bench trial not a trial by jury, and I wasnt sure how those go. Im hoping the cop doesnt show.
Always a chance he might not show. Also you can take those defensive driving classes once every three or five years, and it takes somewhere upwards of 7 points off. I hope you get off. because some cops are trying to meet that quota, will just pull you over. That s also why when a cop pulls me over, I put my phone on record.Originally Posted by Nemesis
