What is the name of your state? Nevada
Hi,
I got a traffic misdemeanor ticket in NV for failing to stop at the signal of a police officer in a marked patrol vehicle, displaying flashing red lights and sounding a siren for two blocks. This is my first traffic ticket, and I don't know what to do. Also, the police officer wrote two blocks, but it only took me one block to stop. The reason why I didn't stop immediately was because there were many signs on the road saying "NO parking anytime," so I was taking a little time to find a safe place to stop. When the siren went on, I reduced my speed to 10 mph and even signaled right to show the officer that I acknowledged the sound of the siren. At first, he said he stopped me for not signaling when I changed lane. However, at the end (it took him 45 minutes to right the ticket) he gave me a ticket for not stopping when the siren went on. Has anyone in this situation before? The bail amount for my ticket is $1000. I am a college student, and I really don't have money to pay for it. Please give me some advice. Thanks for reading my post.
