But it is okay to ask for an interpreter.
However, like many here already said, keep you mouth shut. Other than to ask for an interpreter, the only words out of your mouth should be: I want a lawyer.

right. there is no such federal law. you are screwed. go to traffic school. next time, be nice to the cop and tell him to speak loud and slow so that you can read his lips, or provide him a piece of paper and pen to write down things... its better to be nice than to piss him off and write you a ticket.
