They called me basically in the middle of the 20 person group.

Several people in front of me complained of the Trooper citing them for a speed higher than they were driving. One guy got ticketed the same day as me and basically had my same story. After a few of them, I'm thinking this Judge is just going to toss them all out. Not hardly.

Here's how it broke down, if you had a CDL license, you got the charges dropped and paid court costs. If you had a clean record, you got the charges dropped and paid court costs. If you had violations, he would listen to your story and decide what fine you paid (most paid the full amount). Well, I get up there, plead my case, judge asks me what I want, I say I want no fine, no points. Trooper says he's okay with that! Judge looks at my driving record, sees two tickets over the last 8 years and slams me with the full fine but no points.

The no points was worth my time, but I wasn't too thrilled how the judge was doling out the fines.

Thanks to everyone for your help and input.

Power to the people.
