What is the name of your state? Queens, New York
Infraction: talking on cell phone while driving
subject: Am I not guilty? What would be the process for proving my innocence?
I was driving while talking on my cell phone in queens new york. I admitted my guilt and ignorance of the law. I was given a ticket.
I am a resident in internal medicine and was talking to another resident in internal medicine (I called her Cell Phone) at the time of the violation. Pursuant to New York Law VAT: Article 33, § 1225-c: " 3. Subdivision two of this section shall not apply to (a) the use of a mobile telephone for the sole purpose of communicating with any of the following regarding an emergency situation: an emergency response operator; a hospital, physician's office or health clinic."
Therefore my primary question is: am I not guilty? And how do I go about showing this? What proof is required on my part (ie. I am a doctor, I was tallking to another doctor)?
Secondary questions include:
1) the officer listed my middle name as my first name on the ticket- is this a problem?
2) Is the process for pleading Not Guilty a long process which requires much time and energy? If I submit a not guilty plea notice (on the back of the ticket), do I write a letter explaining my situation as well?
Thank you.
