If NYS was like RI and wrote the fine on the ticket (the $75 part), I would have just paid it. But since you had to plea, I was honest. Last ticket I got was 3 1/2 years ago, I plead Guilty, and got off because of Good Driving Record (3+ years without a violation). I've 'terped for a friend twice and both times, she plead guilty (Both RI and MA) and she got off with just court costs on the RI one and nothing on the MA one.
I am just pissed off by the amount...$130!!! That is alot of money for a police dispatchers salary. That is almost 20% of my paycheck and I get paid every 2 weeks. Rent is 105% of my paycheck, plus bills, car insurance, etc etc. Time for a 2nd job.
