What is the name of your state? New York
I was driving in an unfamiliar town down a very dark road when a car quickly came behind me with very bright lights. It was very hard to see and I was going to try to pull over and let this person pass.The next thing I know a cop pulls me over and says that I had swerved in my lane. I swerved because he came up behind me and I couldn't see.Then he checked everyone's seat belts and my daughter in the back seat had hers off. The cop told me it wasn't points on my license and not to worry about it. He told me not to show up to court.He said if I show up in court to fight the ticket that he wil tell the judge i had swerved in my lane and that on his copy of the traffic ticket he had written that i swerved.I called up the court official for the town and she told me that she had the cop's copy of the ticket and thatit said nothing about swerving.So pretty much he lied to me in order for me to not show up and fight my ticket. I have court tomorrow and I'm wondering what I can do.Should I bring up that the officer lied to me so I would not come to court? And is there anyway for this to not be points on my license?Someone please get back to me with advice and how you would handle this situation.Thank you.
