What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Wisconsin
I recently moved to a smaller city in WI that I grew up in. In the past, I would get one or two speeding tickets and let them go til I was suspended (cuz who has $300 to spare) then I would avoid easier routes around the times I knew the police would be around(plus they were busy chasing crackheads, domestic abusers or waiting for a DUI), let my tickets go to collection, then I would pay my reinstatement fee to the DMV and be on my merry way.
In a smaller town, where I didn't know the routines and habits of the police and where the biggest call they get in a day is "suspicious vehicle", I could not avoid getting pulled over repeatedly and 3 times by the same cop. I am now revoked with 4 or 5 offenses and screwed myself into $1000's worth of tickets, unable to get a ride anywhere cuz I don't know anyone up here and my ticket now has a mandatory court date.
The public defender wouldn't look at me twice becuz forfeitures in my state typically don't demand jail time but a police officer misinformed me on that one. I have no reason to go to trial because I knowingly did this to myself and that is evident but I've never entered a no contest plea and wondered what is was for.
