ticket in staten island ?????????????? well i was driving to staten island from newjersey in my moms car, i was on rt 440 which is the staten island expressway when all of a sudden i see a cop hidding on the side next to a small over pass, so i hit the brakes a little and then he jumps out of the corner and pulls me over. the thing is that i wasnt really speeding and i had my radar detector on the whole time and it never picked anything up. so he comes over to me and asks for my license and registration, he asked if i knew why i was pulled over and i said no and he said i was doing 70 in a 55 and i knew that was bull since his radar wasnt on, then he tells me that i have a working radar in the car and i tell him i know and that it didnt pick anything up and i wasnt speeding, well he just went back to the car, he comes back with a ticket, i asked him if i can get a print out of how fast i was going and he told me no and that if i wanted to see it i would have to go to court, he was being such an *******, so i tried asking him a question and he kept walking away and he said that he couldnt hear me and just took off. on the ticket it says 70 in a 50 working zone, which is another bull since there was no signs for work zone and they usually are 45 not 50. what should i do. this is my first speeding ticket and i dont want my insurance to go up. should i plead not juilty and hope he doesnt show up at court, and does it make a difference if i live in nj and got a ticket in ny. please help me out guys!!!!
NOBODY get's off a speeding ticket in Staten Island. You'll go to court and before you even finish pleading your case you'll be found guilty. You're only hope is to pick up a lawyer when you get to court that day. Good Luck.
If it's out of state, it may not matter.. I know that mass doesn't report tickets to CT as long as you pay them.. find out if NY reports to NJ, if they do, then get that lawyer, if not, then just pay it and be done with it, chock it up to a learning exp. Are radar detectors illegal in Ny? I didn't think that they were.... 
That's what I thought... the radar detector was the only reason that ou got a ticket.. copw as being a assgrape. get a lawyer, fight that ****.. unless Ny doesn't report to NJ... then, only pay if the fine is less then the lawyer fee.
