Is this even a good idea? I want to try and talk to the trooper who pulled me over and try to explain to him why I was going so fast and some how apollogize. Will this get me a reduced ticket or help me out at all? How can I contact him?

I think is bad idea can't help your ticket is already in system trooper has no say about fines or pts. Look at back of ticket
to see how to get hearing. To me its not worth it went to hearing for first ticket in long island lost was pointless and depending on where could cost you more. I recently went to court in vt because i was facing a suspension for too mantytickets did get them to reduce pts but was extra 30 in court costs. My advice unless you have more then 11pts and risk suspension just pay it and move on
Mary is right could be seen as bribe attempt and land u in heap of trouble

That is what court is for. If you feel that you have a case for getting a reduced fine or not guilty, then go to court. It is out of the trooper's hands once the ticket is entered into the system. The trooper would not appreciate you trying to contact him. He stops probably 20 people a day for breaking traffic laws, if everyone tried to contact him, he'd never be out enforcing the laws. Go to court.

The Trooper no longer has the power to change the ticket. He has turned it in. Most troopers would not change it anyways.

check out the badge number on your ticket, and tell to the judge. He may will be at the court.. Or just speed again and hopefully he get you pull over again. But, the best thing is forget it and just pay the fine! He only doing his job!

any shot at gettin out of it was before his pen touched the ticket pad.....no amount of dougnuts is gonna save ya now.....if the guy doesnt write tickets its hard to justify his paycheck,and the court has to pay all the clecks and stuff as well...... if ya got no funds ya could always ask for community service lol

What your doing is trying to bribe the officer. If he is truly honest he will also charge you with bribing a police official. Just forget it and pay your ticket.

Not at all a good idea. You break the law they only enforce it. The judge will listen to your story.

Bribery isn't a good idea. Pay up.
