So i chirped my tires maybe a LITTLE too long (not intentionally) making a u-turn in a parking lot. Rangers came out of nowhere about 30 seconds later and said "oh it's you again" and wrote me a ticket. My court date is the 28th of this month.
These same guys ran into us the prior two days. Two days before, we parked at the beach in a permit only zone. He told us either we pay for a day pass or get a ticket. so we all paid for a day pass.
So i'm thinking this is two points on my license if i get convicted. I already have a speeding ticket from almost two years ago and i got convicted for speeding about 2 1/2 years ago but that was taken off my record thanks to traffic school.
I'm a volunteer at a local fire department and was talking to my captain the other night, he said that two points is the maximum you can have and still be a volunteer. If i get convicted, I get 3 points and I'm out. I've put in too much work to let it go that easily for some dumb ticket.
Is there anything I could ask the judge to do for me to not get convicted? I'm fine with going to traffic school (can you do that for exhibition of speed?) I really need to win this and I don't know what to do. Is a public defender available for such a case? I also have a witness (and a fellow volunteer with the same company) who was in the truck at the time of the citation who can vouch for me that it wasn't blatantly intentional, would this help in my court case? Any help would be very appreciated!
A friend of mine got convicted of a felony and they dropped the charge "in the interest of justice" because he was entering the marines. Is this something they could do for me?
