The advice from NSXtacy is sound. In some areas, South Florida being one, the officer not showing up no longer is a guaranteed victory. Now the Judge may choose to simply reschedule the court date. Last ticket I got I sent in a "not guilty" plea via mail and then changed my plea at the pre-trial hearing because I did not feel I had a strong enough case to win. Long story short I ended up with withheld adjudication (no school and no points) and a $70 fine - much better than the alternative. Good luck. Is that Doc guy gonna yell at me now for aiding a criminal who "did the crime and should do the time"?

[QUOTE="Chicago, post: 136776, member: 6526"] The advice from NSXtacy is sound. In some areas, South Florida being one, the officer not showing up no longer is a guaranteed victory. Now the Judge may choose to simply reschedule the court date. Last ticket I got I sent in a "not guilty" plea via mail and then changed my plea at the pre-trial hearing because I did not feel I had a strong enough case to win. Long story short I ended up with withheld adjudication (no school and no points) and a $70 fine - much better than the alternative. Good luck. Is that Doc guy gonna yell at me now for aiding a criminal who "did the crime and should do the time"? :D [/QUOTE]
