What is the name of your state? New Jersey
Yesturday, i recieved a ticket for not stopping at a stop sign. I know i stopped and i told him i stopped but he still ticketed me.
He said i rolled and didn't stop... but i clearly remember stopping and then inching up a little to see the road clearer to see if any cars are coming before i can cross the intersection to go straight (there was bushes blocking my view where i stopped). After i inched up, i see a there is a school bus on my left with his right turn signal blinking, therefore i went ahead to give her room to turn. After that the cop came from around the corner and pulled me over. He said i didn't stop and i responded i did stop and i went to make room because i saw the school bus wanting to turn into the road i was on. then he wanted to give me another ticket for unchanged address on my drivers license. Even though I did say i was heading home, but it's my boyfriend's apartment and i'm just staying with him because its closer to my school. I have a permanent address with my parents at another township. I explained that to him and he didn't change his mind about giving me the ticket for failure to change address. He also called in a woman cop to inspect my car. She said my car smelled like marjiuana, and demanded i should get out of the car so she can search me and the car. They found nothing of course and my car doesn't smell like marjiuana, it does smell like cigrettes though. i think the cop was just being anal because its the end of the month. Its like a woman's mentrual cycle.. PMS once a month because they can and have to. Anyway, i did stop and i don't need to change my address. Technically i don't live in the apartment, i have nothing addressed to the apartment, and i'm still a dependant under my parents.
Is it possible i can claim not guilty for both tickets? Should i get a lawyer? should i look for that bus driver to be a witness? I didn't do anything wrong. i don't want to pay for tickets that doesn't correspond to anything that i did and didn't do.
