the system is set up is to make money. if you plead not guilty and he shows up 99% of the time they will find you guilty. Your word against a cop, you have something to lose he doesn't. The best advice I have ever heard from a friend that is a LEO is pay the fine and try to get the points off the record.

anything is possible with the judge... but basically, if your respectful and let the judge know that you won't be able to contest the ticket in person, and give him a good reason why you can't (i.e. I am a full time student, my schedule doesn't allow for an "in person" court hearing, yada yada yada) then they should grant you the written declaration proceeding...

^ its very rare to get denied the written trial , unless your not paying upfront then they can deny you whatever you want.

Like i said, if you can take traffic school DO IT!!!
The thing is, if your eligible, and you fight the ticket, then you forfeit your right to take traffic school and there goes your sure fire way to keep it off your insurance...

No. This is not how we work here mister. If police gave a ticket to EVERYONE who broke the law then I would agree with you, but they don't. The favor some people over others don't they? It's not a TRUE justice system and the technicalities only help the constituents who are part of the un-favored population.
That is, if you ask MY opinion.

You guys are right, what was i thinking? He was only going 22 miles an hour OVER the speed limit. Some people get away with doing illegal things, so EVERYONE should get away with it?
(or just certain people ) What the hell do we need laws for anyway? 
He never denied speeding...Do what you can to have the ticket minimized and just pay it.

ok great thanks for the info man, i speaked to some cop today and he worried the **** out of me when he said my ticket would be like over $500 and he told me even if i contest this by written dedclaration i still have to show up in court no matter what! but hopefully i get the written declaration from the judge. i have also noticed the guy just put 92mph approx speed, but he told me he got me with a radar??? i dont get it, i really want to know if this cop has had the training for estimate speed! i remember when my brother got his ticket the cop wrote on paper that he got him on radar! and btw the cop that got me was wearing a blue jump suit, meaning its one of those commercial cops that also pull 18 wheelers over too!
