What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Massachusetts
I have never been to court so I'm all nervous right now. I'm going to fight the ticket fine of $200 and most likely points. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
I was turning left onto a one way street with three lanes, I was the third car making the turn. After making the turn, the first car took the lane on the left, the next car (a SUV, Chevy Tahoe) took the middle and I took the far right. Driving along the street we were all staggered, the left (1st car) being ahead, then the suv, then my sedan on the right.
Apparently there was an undercover cop attempting to cross the street from left side of the street to the right. My vision of the left side of the crosswalk was blocked so I had no idea he was even there. The first car went past the crosswalk but as I was driving towards the crosswalk,the suv started to slow down then just continued on. As I crossed the crosswalk I noticed the undercover cop was waving his hands still on the edge of the crosswalk and about 50 feet past the crosswalk there were a bunch of cops in a parking lot telling all three of cars to pull over.
This was being continued on and more or less the whole parking lot was packed with cars getting pulled over for the same ticket with the same undercover cop walking when there are cars coming his way. Evil entrapment!! Do I have a good shot of getting this ticket tossed? What is going to happen during the court case?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
