Ok so long story short me and 2 of my buddies were mud riding begind a golds gym tonight. There were 20 other cars that are in my "crew" or whatever you want to call it that were there to. Ok so to cut to the chase. I drove out of the woods with my truck midway muddy and my buddies were still in the wodds playing. So my truck is sitting in the parking lot and they are still back there for another 10 minutes. So 2 cops come driving in and start asking for I.D.'s like always. SO they tell everyone else they can go except for me and the 2 that were in the woods. So they tell us that they are going to give us tickets for driving on private property without persmission. So I tell them that I wasnt drivng my truck bak there and hat I went mud riding earlier. So the cop ask's me real quick where I went earlier and just out off the top of my head I told her a place called Flatt Rck park which it is illegal to ride there also. Then about 5 seconds later I said that I went to a place called Dirty dog mud park in alabama and that I got the 2 places mixed up by accident because they are both parks. SO a different cop and I walk over to my truck and he continues to tell me all the reasons why he thinks I was in the woods mud riding when I continue to tell him that my truck was parke here when yall got here and that I went mud riding somewhere else earlier and it wasnt from here. So he write me and my friends a ticket for driving on private property without permission.
Ok so my question is, can he do that. Even though I told him I went somewhere else to go mud riding can he really give me ticket for riding on private property withou permission if he didnt see me do it? He saw my truck with mud all over the bottom half of it parked in a parking lot and saw my 2 buddies mud riding. Never did he see me out there just parked there.
Also If I dont go to court and if I jus pay the ticket can they take points off my liscense? Can they really do anything to me (suspend my liscense, take it from me, add points, etc...) besides fine me? I know the fine is like $300 or so but can they do anything to me besides fine me?
Also when you go to court for any type of ticket or anything do they tell you how many points get taken off your liscense? My last ticket I got the judge never told me whether I got points taken off or not. So does that mean no points? How can I check how many I have?
Anything you want to add would also be helpful here too.
