I go to court alot for tickets. It is easy to take care of. If you want to just pay the ticket you can go to the court anytime and tell them you want to pay and you wont have to go in front of a crowded room or talk to anyone besides the clerk. If you want to say that youre not guilty of the charge then you will set a court date and face the officer in court.
The prosecutor will ask the police man some questions then you can ask the police officer some questions. If you want to make a statement then you would have to take the stand yourself, but that would mean that the prosecutor can now ask you questions.
Another option is to tell the judge you wish to plead nolo contendre which means yes you did the thing the officer says you did but there were extenuating circumstances and are basically asking for leaniency from the judge. This usually gets a 90 day probation and a small fine but wont go on your record if you do the probation without problems. Good luck. Feel free to contact me with a more specific question if you would like to...

Recently, had to appear for a bogus "rolling stop" ticket. The cop even said that he actually pulled me over because he didn't like the kind of vehicle I was driving.
When I went before the Judge, after at least 70 other people with another100 behind me, and I told him what the cop had said to me, he actually replied:"Yeah, we get a lot of that here."
I was so pissed off!!
I couldn't believe it.
It seemed to me that either this Judge either thought I was trying to get out of it, or that he is already aware that the cops in town are so corrupt that they'll pull over anyone for any reason out of sheer bordem!
I'm leaning toward the later simply because of the sheer number of people who were all in court on the same day....all for minor traffic violations.
I ended up pleading out because I realized that it would be a WHOLE lot cheeper in the long run and in six months it wouldn't show on my record anymore, and I'd loose no points.

Yes. It was a speeding ticket 50mph in a 40mph zone. I plead not guilty to everyone that asked me. They asked if i had any way to prove it and i said no, but i know i'm not guilty! It turned out that the officer that actually wrote me the ticked never showed up for the hearing, so i never had to go before the judge or anything and they dropped it to a non-moving violation- I still had to pay a fine, but it did not go on my driving record. That was fine with me cause i had lots of tickets on there already!

Ya I got pulled over for my tag being in my back window ( improper display of tag), and they said suppossedly my license was suspended. So I went to court and the judge dismissed the charges, 1 b/c of the type of car I had, and 2 there was a change in law at the time. So I only had to pay 50 court cost.

I had to go to a juvenile traffic court for a speeding ticket once. I said I was stupid and shouldn't have sped, they told me not to do it again and I paid about $100.

the two are many times appeals for issues you ask for selfishly or could desire to safeguard your self. The Lottery expenses you a around 70 cents for each greenback of return on the long term, and it has in basic terms materialistic reward. Prayer doesn t value you something, the outcomes are based on the request s contract with the appropriate divine plan, and it could have eternal reward. The Lottery will destroy your economic business enterprise account, yet making an investment in prayer builds your heavenly account -- in case you have popular the deposit that s waiting to take you out of the purple.

The Texas officer who mentioned 'nolo contendre' is not quite correct. It actually means 'no contest' (you neither admit nor deny the charge). With this plea you can make a statement but can't be cross-examined (there is no actual trail).

You go to court.
You get a fine.
You pay the fine.
You get a couple of pionts on your license.
It's all over.
