What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
Hi,
I was driving in a detroit side street, I was turning right and there's a woman there about to cross the street, I slow down thinking she's going to cross but she doesn't so I make a right she's quite pretty so I drive slowly appreciating her pretty face and feeling flirty I ask her if she needs a ride and then suddenly out of nowhere a cop vice car appears and handcuffs the girl and I, I hadn't even made a complete stop!
Well, he says he knows what we are doing and I tell the cop I was just saying "hey there, how are you"? to the girl, I was so nervous. Anyways, he gets the girl to confess that she's a working girl but I keep insisting that I wasn't looking to pick up a prostitute that I only saw her, she was attractive was in front of my car and I said "hi", that's it. Well, they get the girl inside the car (and I'm thinking maybe she's a cop pretending to be a working girl even after the cop questions us) and he gives me a ticket for "accosting/solicitation" (38-9-5) while threatening to take my car and also take me to jail.
The girl didn't look like a working girl and I honestly didn't think she was one, it was at night and cold, I was truly offering her a ride. I had heard about the detroit police but didn't really think they were that corrupt.
What are my options, can I fight this? I can't really see how I would lose, I was thinking of defending myself but now I hear about all the corruption in detroit so that got me scared so I'm thinking about hiring a lawyer.
What are my chances if I defend myself? If I choose to hire a lawyer how much does that cost me? If the case is dismissed do I still have to pay court costs?
I feel like someone punched me in the stomach, thank you very much for you guys advising people, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
