What is the name of your state? Massachusetts
I was driving in New Jersey at that time.
We had been driving since over 2 hours, so we ask the GPS to take us on a detour to a place to eat. We enter a small town, in which the streets are all dark, and we are lost apart from a GPS to give us directions. Suddenly a cop car pulls us over, and the cop tells me I did not stop at a STOP sign.
Honestly, I do not remember even seeing a stop sign. I know I stopped at all the intersections to see if they were clear before proceeding. But maybe I did not stop completely at wherever the STOP sign was. The fine is 86$. But it isn't the fine that worries me, its just insurance and having a moving violation. This is my first 'violation'....
Should I appeal this? I will have to drive down to NJ for it. But is there a chance? Any advise will be much appreicated.
Also, should I get a court attorney or do this myself?
