Default Got ticketed but I have a weird question

So I was going to Rockport and I got a ticket for doing 74 in a 55 . Any way I am hispanic and on the ticket where it says race the cop put W and I heard that it can be dismissed because of this . Is this true ?

That is old school I think. You were speeding so does it really matter? Doubt it gets dismissed. Good luck!

According to this year's census, Hispanic is not a race, it is an ethnicity. Doubt you'll get a dismissal based on that.

I know hispanic is not considered a race for atleast 4 years now, we are actually considered white.

Not only that, what the hell were you doing going 74 on a 55?

going that speed around here was asking for it. I just pull my car out and they start looking at me. I went the other day to go see what time Lowes opened back up over here in Kyle and and the damn cop followed me for 3 miles. WTF
But good luck getting that dismissed. i dont think they give a **** about anything anymore except your money.

I'm native american but they don't have that block on the ticket to check. Sure I look white, but I'm 1/16 card carrying Cherokee I'm the real minority if something has to go to EEO

Hispanic=White when it comes to the offical books, so the officer got it right and there is no way that its getting dismissed.. good luck with the whole situation.

true but he probably means they shouldn't have

the reply by the OP is a primary example why...should get wrote up for failure to comply with an officer or something of that sort

I'm cherokee but look white and I can't count the number of time jackasses came into my former employer to look at car audio and always try to see if I would struggle through spanish or finding someone to translate or something only to find out they speak perfect english
