What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Washington state
I got pulled over for going 81 in a 60 zone (yes i know thats bad, but i was VERY distracted due to 3 of my family members passing away) so i applied for a mitigation hearing. i got my license in january and this is my first ticket ever. by the way im 18. so what exactly happens at this hearing? what do i do? and do i need to bring anything wtih me?
also my friend is going into law and he said that a cop cant ticket you if youre not at the place where you did the "crime." for example, a police officer caught him texting while driving, so he pulled over to a store, went in and then came out. the police officer said i saw you texting and he said yes but i was texting on the road im now at a store so you cant ticket me. and the police officer didnt ticket him. i hope that makes sense...i was on a 2 way road...i was going one way and the officer was going the other way. i was speeding at one place and he pulled me over when iwas actually going at the speed limit. so could he still ticket me?
im sorry if this is all confusing, if you need more info or that doesnt make any sense please let me know. thanks in advance!
