What is the name of your state? Illinois
-I got pulled over today for speeding in River Grove, IL.
It was a detective cop car, I didnt even know they had authority to write tickets. He said I was going 55 in a 30 mph zone.
-I received a second ticket for failure to signal while switching lanes. I believe the speeding part but I dont believe the failure to signal part. I always always use my signal, even unconsciously when a street curves.
-I have a clean record, have never ever ever been pulled over before and before I even got a chance to explain this fact, he had handed me the ticket.
-I am not experienced with traffic court. Do I plead guilty and request supervision? How does that all work? How much $$ are we talking? I dont want anything on my superclean record. I dont know how much the tix are for but I am a student who is way broke.
-I have read that you can request for continuances in hope that the officer won't show and your ticket will be automatically dismissed. I have also read that you can request certification of the last calibration date for the radar gun and that the ticket may be dismissed if it is not within one month of the date your ticket was issued.
-What's my best bet?
