Charged With A Crime? We're Ready To Fight.
What Happens If I Am Stopped by the Police?
Police officers are tasked with making sure that traffic rules are followed, so traffic tickets happen on a daily basis. Most people have been stopped for a ticket. If you are pulled over by police there are several things to keep in mind. You must stay inside your car and wait until the police officer approaches you. You will be asked to provide your driver’s license along with your insurance card. You may also be requested to provide registration documentation for the vehicle.
Police Etiquette
It is important that you remain calm and treat the police officer with respect at all times. This will certainly help to ensure that you get the best possible results. If you do not agree with the officer you may say so in a polite manner. If there is something you do not understand ask the officer. If stopped for speeding you may want to know how your speed was determined. This could be very important later if you decide to go to court.
Tickets in Florida
Florida assesses points on your driver’s license when you have been found guilty of a moving violation or accident. When you gather too many points in a period of time, the result could be a suspended license. You have several options when you receive a ticket. You may pay the ticket. Keep in mind, however, that this means you were guilty of the offense and the associated points will be assessed. You may choose to go to court to fight the ticket. Another option that may be available for some people is to attend traffic classes.
Fighting Traffic Tickets
It may be well worth your time to fight the ticket. If you already have points on your record it may be wise to avoid getting more points and risk a possible license suspension. Fighting traffic tickets in court can be very successful, particularly if you engage the help of an experienced traffic attorney. Your lawyer will review all aspects of your ticket to present the best possible defense.
