    Default City of Jefferson

    My brother got his first ticket tonight for 17 over in a 55 mph speed limit over on 129 by the kroger. He never saw the cop-dark cop cars with no light on at 11pm. Anyways, gonna call tomorrow but anyone know how much the fine is(I can't find any info on the website). Has anyone had any experience with their solicitor(ie likely to get it dropped to 14 over and pay the fine)?

    Not complaining he was speeding and deserved the ticket just really curious if they are likely to lower the speed on the ticket so it doesnt go on his record.

    Thanks

    I think that's where my brother got a ticket for loud exhaust and he wasn't even driving hard.

    72 in a 55 will likely run a couple hundred depending on prior driving record and if the judge had his coffee or not.

    So the cops were assholes because your brother had illegal tint? Later, QD.

    No, because everyone knows Jefferson cops for the most part are complete douche bags.

    Oh. So being in the wrong had nothing to do with it, then?

    He probably didn't get the ticket for the exhaust being too loud. It was probably because the cops are "assholes." Later, QD.

    Lolol. I guess so. I can't agree from a personal experience viewpoint, but I have seen videos of said cops. I have literally NEVER had a bad experience from an officer. I have always had nothing but normal (even good) encounters with them. Later, QD.

    I use to as well, I use to hold a very high respect for them but after numerous issues and even harassment the bad ones are making me lose respect for the good ones.

    Jefferson? Yeah, you're fucked. They don't budge at all. I'd be surprised if they don't hand you another citation in court for asking questions.

    I am with QD on this one. Personally, over the years, cops have been pretty cool to me.

    I dealt with them once...the solicitor might as well have been the cop that gave me the ticket....didn't give two fucks about hearing anything Ihad to say and on;y has smart ass remarks for anything I did say....all while siding with the cops.

    Just go to court expecting to pay the ticket. Jefferson city uses the Jackson County Courthouse for their days of court so more than likely if you talk to the solicitor or the officer you can get it lowered to 14. Just remember to be humble and most of them are just doing their jobs. I've been living in Jefferson for the past 9yrs and have never received a ticket from them.

    On a side note, always stay away from Arcade, Ga. The cops there hold their own court sessions and will take full advantage of that. Arcade Police Department has also been under the eye of the G.B.I. for awhile now for speedtraps, and they write the most ridiculous tickets.
