New York.
I was pulled over in New York City by a traffic cop on a highway/ Parkway after entering the ramp.
The officer was aggressively close, tailgating my vehicle, before approaching the cars side forcing me to the left lane and telling me to pull over simultaneously. This was very dangerous since he was forcing me to the railing.
Anyway, after being pulled over in a Gas Station on the Expressway right side. He asked why I was pulled over, and i said NO. He asked whats the speed limit on the hutchingson express and I said I was unsure. P.O. Stated it was 45mph, Do you know how fast you were going? I said "NO".
He then went to his car and returned with a ticket for an UNSAFE LANE CHANGE traffic violation. I pleaded NOT GUILTY, and waited for the date, and it was changed to a later date unknowly, luckly I went earlier. I found that NYS does not have real judges hearing their traffic cases and discovery requests are not possible.
Is there a way to beat this ticket? Is this administrative judge process a violation of due process since they could deduct points on licenses and issue fines?
- I USED TURN SIGNALS AS ALWAYS.
- WATCHED FOR OTHER CARS
- THIS VIOLATION IS MORE OF AN OPINION, RIGHT?
