The cop is under no obligation to provide you legal advice (and in general it's a bad idea to accept legal advice from one anyhow) nor is he obliged to lower your charge for any reason.
Your "valid" arguments for laser accuracy wouldn't fly in court most likely anyhow.
You had due process, you decided to forgo it in order to dodge going to court. The court is under no obligation to inform you of all the repercussions of your guilty pleas.
You know I took a second look at the ticket the officer gave me and in very small print it mentions the Driver Responsibility Assessment. I did not have my reading glasses on when I read it. Seniors need not apply. Actually the Officer did give me legal advice, he told me to contact the DA's office and tell them this was my first ticket in 30 years.
You quip about my laser argument leads me to ask, the ticket had my car listed as black, it's blue and the officer based the charge on direct observation. Well when I saw him he was getting in his car with nothing in his hands, but there was an officer on the previous overpass where I entered the hwy that was lasering people. I submit it was his direct observation but his name was not on the ticket
I agree there's no recourse, but why is PA under an obligation to suspend my license when the violation under PA laws would only be 4 points and it's PA license subject to PA laws. That why I did not go to court because I thought I would only end up with 4 pts against my PA license.
PA has no such means of extorting out of state drivers, I suggest they start one and stick it to NYers.
I still don't understand why I can't appeal the original ticket?
