Hey Taylor,

I learned that in NYS, they issue you a ticket. You can send it in and checkmark Guilty, Guilty with Explanation, or Not Guilty on the back, OR, you can go to court. Ofcourse, I am not going 400 miles over a ticket that even our worst ticket writer in our department thought was stupid. I sent them a letter basically stating that I was not from the area, I was confused with the interesection and light pattern, and that I have what RI considers a good driving record (no tickets in past 3 years). Actually, I have had no conviction in past 11 years. I am just going to call tomorrow and see what's up. Funny thing is, just last week, we helped a LEO from NYS with his daughter's speeding ticket that she got in our jurisdiction.

One thing that really pissed me off was the way I got pulled over. The officer should have gotten a ticket for the way he cut off cars to pull me over for a minor traffic infraction. The officer could have safely pulled me over 1/4 mile down the road without cutting through the intersection with his lights and siren like he was going to a shooting or bank robbery.
