You listen to too many Urban Legends. You should have noted it to the officer that there was a mistake before you signed. Either way, it is a small error that won't cause the ticket to get thrown out in court.

How did he get screwed? "Running" a yellow in the state of GA is illegal. A yellow is made to "clear" the intersection, not enter it. The only reason that you can "run" a yellow is that if it is dangerous to the drivers behind you if you suddenly slam on your brakes in order to stop in time.

My father was a criminal judge for about ~23 years (of which I sat in court with him for about 20yrs of it). I typically have one leg up in terms of the judicial system being that I was up close and personal with it for so long. There are so many myths and rumors about law, tickets, court dates, officer showing up, etc, that are untrue. It boggles my mind. Thank the internet for that.

Oh I know, Brandon. Lolol. I was just messing around. Later, QD.

Oh, it's all good. I just wasn't aware if you knew about my background and my father's job.

**quickdodge®** · 03-06-2005, 07:04 PM

I didn't, lolol. My grandmother retired after 20+ years of being a Rockdale County probation officer and my Mom still works for the state AG in downtown. Later, QD.

**Jtultra** · 03-06-2005, 07:31 PM

the question is.....what are the myths and what are the facts? care to enlighten me and everyone else. I'm curious, but I guess I'll go to court and keep my mouth shut and I'll see what happens

**babygurl** · 03-06-2005, 07:38 PM

my question is, did the cop say you had to go to court??? also you can put it off for another month just tell them that you a a conflict with work/or school and save the money and pay the ticket dont try and fight it not worth it,!!!!!!!!

**FrnkPwrs** · 03-06-2005, 08:06 PM

The truth is you have to pay the ticket. If you try to fight a ticket like that you will be screwing yourself. You are damn lucky he didnt lock both of your asses up, which he had full power inthe law to do if he wanted to be a dick. And that is no myth. Be thankful that didnt happen, just pay it. You dont have to go to court if you pay the ticket. You can pay it over the phone or at the courthouse or by the mail.

Nolo would not help you really because your concern is the price of the ticket and not points. Save your NoLo for when points on your license is an issue, i.e. speeding.

**ruah_23** · 03-06-2005, 09:41 PM

The cop is lenient enough to give u a trespassing ticket.He can charge u with a lot more.Learn from this incident.A lot worst can happen.

Hmm that was something i never knew..i DID know your suppose to slow down, but i didnt think you could geta ticket if you didnt. Thought it was like a Yield; use caution, okay if get by but screwed if you get in wreck.

Nope, yellow means clear the intersection as the light is about to change to red. It doesn't mean "enter" and go through. You enter the intersection on the green light, but clear it on the yellow.

AND to top it, he made me sign the one w/ him driving my car and my friend signed the one w/ me driving his car. the court date is Thursday. My question is, don't the tickets have to be 100% accurate to be valid? I was planning on going up there an saying that me and my friend were just changing a flat, would the judge believe us since OBVIOUSLY the cop is a moron? Is there a good chance the cop will show up? I'm flipping out about this because the ticket fee is $108 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Any advice would be great

That's true the tickets would probaly have to be dropped because yall did not sign your own ticket. Just tell the Judge it's not your ticket. They have no choice but the drop the ticket because it's not valid without you sig. They can't just issue you a new ticket either so you should be fine. Not your mistake is what I say.

Wow what county is that. I was in the court house with my friend for a Illegal lane change ticket of $90. I saw 4 people get tickets for illegal HOV use and they where $145 tickets I forget what county, But it was near all the stip clubs.

**Jtultra** · 03-07-2005, 08:12 AM

You fuckin did the shit just man up and pay it. By the time you take off off work, pay the fine, and the court costs you're going to turn it into over $200
worth of time and effort. Its not even a fucking moving violation so its not going to do anything to your license. Damn if you cant afford to pay it get a continuance or fucking community service.

**Chuckster** · 03-07-2005, 01:13 PM

108??? thats it pay that shit, none of my tickets were under 175. Well my first ticket was 75 but thats b/c the cop wanted me to meet his daughter(long story short) he reduced my speed. ticket would of been 200

if you dont have the money the judge will give you little more time to save up and pay it or will give u community service.

**B16a2 Civic** · 03-07-2005, 01:21 PM

just hope the cop dont show up....if he does...just pay it...remember...the judge is on teh "law's" side

**Chuckster** · 03-07-2005, 03:07 PM

i fya pay i tb4 ur court date u dont have to waste an hour+ in court. Court rooms suck, alwas fuckign hot as hell. Making you sweet so you look guilty, lol

**Jtultra** · 03-07-2005, 09:15 PM

ALRIGHT, I got a plan. I'm gonna take off of school on that day (I don't know where people got that I was working etc) my friend's gonna ask for a continuence and I'll go up there and say thts not me etc. because he's white I'm asian........so I think that may work

**umairejaz** · 03-07-2005, 10:03 PM

yeah- if its not too late to jump on the "you should just pay the fine and admit you're guilty wagon", i am jumping on.
that is f*cking retarded to fight that ticket! Like many people were saying: The fine isn't that much to pay, There are no points against your license, and just because all of the information on your ticket may not be 100% precise, the judge will most likely side with the officers. They are the arm of the law! Just pay it and stop complaining. Sometimes you get off easy- and this is DEFINITELY one of those times.

**absolude** · 03-07-2005, 10:42 PM

one last thing- most of the judges in georgia tend to not be on the lenient side of things. so if you go into court with a bad attitude, you can grab your ankles and hope u remembered that ky one of our compadres mentioned earlier!!!

**NickHoganFan** · 08-11-2008, 09:58 PM

I like pickles

**jcs** · 08-12-2008, 12:14 AM

i got a ticket not to long ago for doing 61 in a 40 and the limit was 45 so they had to drop it.if you fight it and lose your down a 100 bucks,if you dont your still down a 100 bucks so hey why not.
