What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? NY
I got pulled over yesterday by unmarked police car at 8:30pm. Cop gave me a ticket Sec 1212 "Reckless Driving (Burning Rubber)". I was driving a little bit actively, and I know they followed me (there were 3 of them in car) for like four traffic lights. During which time I stepped on it several times, so the tires turned loose and chrisped like for 2 seconds, including the time when I made a left turn.
My questions are: Do I need to worry about the jail time and any points? Does the cop have to be present at criminal court for the process to start? Otherwise, I could just say that I was in a hurry and accelerated a little bit too hard, but I WAS NOT speeding. I'm 20, do my parents have to come with me? Do I need to hire a lawer?
I got a speeding ticket six months ago (90 in a 50 mile zone), which got me 8 pts, at this moment I'm 20 years old, my hearing is in January, seven days before I'll turn 21. I know reckless driving is 5 pts, but when I asked him what the judge can rule out for me, he said I won't get any pts and will only pay a fine and didn't mention jail time. At the end he said strange phrase "If you'll be a good boy, you'll get off easy". Thanks.
