I got the GTP last year and it already had it's inspection for the year in April, got the car with new plates in June... so the inspection read 4/13 and the plates read 6/13... straightened out now though lol.

I guess I'll go with my checkbook ready and just be like, "I got it fixed like a half hour after the stop, is there anyway we can drop it since I fixed it immediately and it's never happened before?"
If they deny me I'll just plead guilty and pay it.

Yeah, that was the main point of this thread, "Is it worth the hassle, do I stand a chance, or should I just deal?" It's not a huge amount, my only other ticket I ever got was well over $300 and a 2 week suspension for 31mph over the speed limit ... It's just bad timing because Im gettin ready to spend money on other stuff like LIM gasket and Inferno lip!

It's not like you got pulled over with a bloody knife in your hand and body in the trunk, lmao! Don't take this stuff so seriously! Honestly, you wanna fight it, there are traffic court lawyers who are golfing at the same country club as your DMV Judge I'm sure. Will cost you same or more to fight that way. Other way is if you know someone or have family ON the job... Lol. Lastly, if you wish to exercise your RIGHT and fight the ticket, you'll probably lose. It's just a guess, but you could give it a shot if you got nothing else better to do with your time and win, then you can be happy you beat the system! Hehehe...

Remember that all municipalities are hurting for revenue lately, it's all about the almighty $, not safety, not clean air... Nothing but good ol' greenbacks!

Good Luck!
Yeah, that's basically what I was asking, is it gunna be more of a pain than it's worth... I wasnt really worried about it seriously, just wasnt totally sure of my options or if I should bother, but I think I have my answer.

I have had better luck pleading guilty and THEN getting it reduced or thrown out. But mine were speeding tickets so they knew I was there to avoid penalties.
Then there's the idea of getting a lawyer, but like has been said it's gonna cost the same as the ticket even though it's pretty much a guaranteed win.

I would just pay it because there's no points involved. And it's only $112. I know how much $112 is but compared to the $250 ONE headlight ticket I got a while back, psh. I'd take that.
Yeah, kinda what I was thinking, waiting and setting dates and having to go back... it's not a huge amount, coulda been worse like you said, still a pain in the ass though.

In the end I know I was guilty, so I guess I'll just throw myself to mercy and if they dont wanna throw it out well then I guess Im writing a check lol.

Thanks for the input, guys.
