What is the name of your state? MO
Got a ticket for tail light out 3 months ago. Cop seemed upset with me for some reason. Tailgates me for about 4 miles, I had the cruise control on, really close like NASCAR. Then falls back to 100 yards then back up close with lights going and a couple of spot lights on me so bright that I couldn't see anything to the side or behind me other than light. So it did take me longer to pull over. First he said that my plates were not registered and before I fully answered "I just got plates two weeks ago" he ask what I was hiding ( several times) before I answered he asked how it could pass inspection with a tail light out? Again, I couldn't answer fully and he was asking what I was hiding. So I open the glove box got my insurance card and drivers license and handed it to him. He filled out the ticket gave it to me. It took over two months to recieve anything from the circuit clerk.
I don't want to plead guilty. So when I go court to set the real court date can it be set like 40 or 50 days later or does it need to be set sooner.
Can I ask for or supena(sp) the tape from his camera (I assume he had one) showing my tail light actually out or does everyone assume he's right. Would the police keep the tape from that day? Is that my only way of winning? I really can't prove that I'm innocent (Other than I passed inspection two weeks prior).
