Had to miss work to go to traffic court, I ran a red light back in sept.; difficult to explain. Nonetheless the cop didn' show up and not guilty by default!
Yahoo! I've got a clean record, but still plan to fight the speeding ticket i got a couple weeks ago on 280, was going 80mph....

a couple years later i got a bullshit carpool violation for $496. trial by declaration was not an option...
OP, i have a question for you. Did the judge wait to try your case at the very end because the cop was not present when you first got called to the stand? the judge in palo alto did this to me, i got off, but took 2 hours of waiting...i figured the judge was trying to buy time for the cop to show up.
btw, in this economy, and with the state budget crisis...cops are in revenue raising mode (tickets and fines).
be careful out there.

are the cops to lazy to do trial by declaration?
And if you lose the TBD, you can get a retrial automatically, giving you 2 separate chances to beat the ticket.

i got a ticket a few months ago for running a red light. (it was yellow i swear) but with my luck. i was photographed in the intersection with 4 different angles. i just paid the fine and went to traffic school.

Just last month, I found out i ran a red light. But the thing is, i was making a right turn. With my luck they took my picture for not making a complete stop. Such b.s . Any one know of anything i can do ?
