This isn't a help me get out of a ticket thread, just a procedural question.
I have to go to court tomorrow b/c i got pulled over for a headlight out, and then the cop found my licensed had expired. i had no idea of course, not that its any excuse. but she told me since i had a clean record i could go and try to plead it down to a failure to show documents. my question is how does one do that? do i go beforehand and talk to the DA or do i have to plead not guilty first and then talk to someone? (i was told the latter by a friend...)
Update:
Never was supposed to appear, should've just been able to pay by mail, there wasn't even anything to knock it down too like the cop told me. cost me the court costs and missed halfday's work. :|
