What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? This ticket was issued in Buffalo, NY .
Happy New Years to everyone,
I got pulled over in Buffalo, on the highway, because the officer though I was on the phone. I explained to him I didn't even have a phone on me, he searched my car and obviously didn't find a phone. However, I guess he felt a bit pissed off, and still wanted to give me so type of ticket. So he issued me a Turning Signal ticket, and told me " when you get pulled over, you need to turn your hazards on ". I had my turning signals when turning lanes into service road. But once I was in the service road with the cop behind me and my car off, I didn't turn hazards on. Didn't know I have to.
Is this true? I turned my car off, but I didn't think I need to turn hazards on. If its true, could any one kindly link me to the law. The ticket says nothing more than " TURN SIGNL VIO" "VTL 1163 (E)"
If its not true, can I plead not guilty and request a Supporting Deposition or file a FOIL request for the officers notes. I would like to get a more detailed reason than just "TUNR SIGNL VIO". That way I can have more evidence to present the judge.
Any other advice?
Thank you!
