Speeding Ticket Question

[DWeigs]

Maybe the cop filled it out wrong or something. You might be able to get out of it if its his mess up....

yeah my girlfriend got out of a ticket because he mis worded the violation

[HandoEX]

There is no fine schedule one there at all...that's the weird part. There is no mention of any fine, just a scheduled court date for the end of August. I don't know, maybe I'll end up having to call them.

Anyone know what a 65 in a 55 zone is in MN on the interstate?

my ticket had the wrong address on it. Showed it to the judge and the cop said he made a mistake. So it all depends on the judge.

minimum is like 120 now. getting a ticket in minnesota is a big no no.

No shit there captain obvious. Where would I be without your infinate wisdom?

[camzaro28]

i think the reason for no fine is because you are going to get let off. is this your first citation? has anyone else got a ticket without the fine amount on it? or a court date for date for speeding?
if your record is clean i think the judge is going to let you go home with no fine.

Jason, In minnesota you have to go to the court house before your court date, and tell them you need to pleed guilty. You will sign the back of the ticket pleeding guilty and they'll tell you how much the fine is. It's not like in ND when you oay the ticket BEFORE you even pleed guilty. This is the normal procedure in MN, and the cop didnt mess up. sorry dude!

[SmitEvo]

He shouldnt have to goto court for a speeding ticket, you can just pay the fine. I got a ticket on interstate a couple of months ago and didnt have to go.

My wife got her first speeding ticket yesterday as well as you Jason. ( I know this isn't your first) But hers had the fine amount on it along with the court date. If you pay the fine before court, your admitting your guilt and it goes on your record. If you choose to contest it, that's what the court date is for. I'd go to the adress listed on the ticket and ask them. I wouldn't take my chances on this one based on what you told me yesterday. I think it was a statewide crackdown yesterday because they were pulling people over EVERYWHERE!!!! Fuckers.

Jason, you have to call up the MN courthouse. There should be a number on the back of the ticket, or you will have to look it up in the phone book. When you call them, say you got a ticket and want to know the amount due. They'll ask you for some info on the ticket and then they will tell you. When you sign the ticket you no longer have to appear in court, as you have already plead guilty.

Yes the amount is intentionally left blank.

Fight it Jason, remember what I told you on the phone about that?

That puts me between a rock and a hardplace...go to court or go to my third day of Statistics?

[MisterCMK]

Call the courthous and get a the court date rescheduled.

For speeding they give you the fine amount on the spot because its a set amount. For other offenses like exhibition driving etc, they make you call in to get a fine amount. Speeding should be right on the ticket and the cop should have told you...been there done that with police, state patrol, and sheriffs...

So why didn't they put the fine amount on the ticket? I've had speeding tickets in MN before (not recently) and the fine amount was always on the ticket before.

I'm pretty sure my ticket for 17 over had a fine amount on it, along with the fine sheet. On another note MN TICKETS SUCK, wonder how much the state makes a year on those.

My exhibition driving ticket had the price on the ticket...
