[Mustang Muscle]

Got it in Waukesha...he said he got me doing 42 in a 25 but when i stopped, which was immediately there was a speed limit 45 sign in front of me...i have to go Wednesday to plead...Its my first speeding ticket, what do i do?

[stealthy1ss]

No contest.

[JC70SS]

probably call that attorney stickied here

Not guilty, ALWAYS not guilty. Talk to the city atty. and they'll almost always reduce it.

if i plead not guilty i hear i have to pat for a jury and attorney? true?

Defective speedometer.

Or is that only a Milwaukee County thing?

[RanJer]

Talk to the city atty, most likely he'll recommend a No Contest plea and they'll amend the charges. Usually something like impeding traffic, etc in Wauk Cnty. Or you can always hire a private attorney and go from there.

And if you plead not guilty, it doesn't automatically go to jury trial or anything. It just gives you time to provide evidence for innocence.

Best bet is to talk to an attorney first, whether it's the city one the morning of your court date, or if you call one on your own.

Let me guess Sunset Dr? If you go to court, you'll get to hear about 100 people who also go busted on the same streets.

Everytime I've gone, they dropped the charge to something lesser with no points and kept the fine.

Talked to Basil, the sticky att. and i guess i'll see whats gonna go on from here thanks for the help guys. It was in north prairie actually, but in the county of waukesha, so let's see what happens...

NO! Where did you hear that?

I've pled not guilty to every ticket I've ever gotten... and have yet to pay for a jury or atty.

if you pat a jury, you'll most certainly end up in jail. Paying them is frowned upon too.

me too. You get the option if you want your case held in front of a jury, or just the judge.

plead not guilty. talk to the DA and see what he can do to get it knocked down to something else cheaper and or without points. ive had quite a few tickets and I allways talk to the DA. normally get it reduced to a non moving violation so it doesnt mess with my insurance

Cry?

Like a bitch with a skinned knee.

[70 cutlass 442]

the city attorney in waukesha is marie ann isle, shes a bitch. if you have a good driving history she may reduce it to a defective speedo, but she is the 2nd worst city attorney that ive ever worked with. my attorney also said shes tough..... shes also extremely stupid, i have a trial comming up with her at the end of the month. good luck

Don't bother with getting legal help. Most people only do that if they are about to lose their licence or if they are a commercial driver.

OMG, I got my last one in north prairie too, that place is a trap waiting to happen.
