A few things...Originally Posted by nipponLIFE
A. A cop DOES NOT have to show you his radar read out. Actually, I'm surprised that he did as it is dangerous to do so on a highway. Either way, it is still an urban legend that cops have to show you the read out. That is probably why he had an attitude.
B. No, you are not getting "****ed" by the system. You were in the wrong, so the system is treating you as it should in a legal sense.
C. Yes, it is possible to still get points on your license if you plead nolo contendere. Nolo is still basically a guilty plea even though you aren't pleading guilty/not guilty; it's a please of "no contest" loosely translated. Most jurisdictions still treat it as guilty in a sense as you are not contesting the charges. They might reduce or get rid of the fine, but that doesn't mean that it still won't be reported to insurance. It really depends on the county.
