What is the name of your state? NY
I had an expired inspection sticker and current inspection sticker on the windshield. I didn't know how to get the old sticker off so I had just put the new one on the windshield. I received at ticket for the expired inspection even though the current sticker was prominent. I sent a photo showing the current(valid) and expired sticker. I argued that the spirit of the law was not to punish for the failure to remove the old sticker. The spirit of the law is to make sure the cars are current with their inspection and my current sticker was proof my car had a current inspection.
I pled not guilty and I received an offer to pay a reduced fee from $65 to $43. If I don't accept the reduction offer an Administrative Judge will review my case. I will either be found guilty and have to pay the full fee or dismissed and I will not have to pay anything.
Should I go for the Administrative Judge? Since they offered me a reduction do I have a good change of having this dismissed?
