"...I have never heard of anything like that working 91LX2BFAST. ) I thought once a ticket is turned in, its turned in, I didnt think there was any downsizing of the charge unless you talk to the DA, once that ticket is turned in at the end of the day..."

Once the ticket is turned in, they can't withdrawel it, but they can drop the charge in court. As long as you sign the ticket as not-guilty, you get your day in court ("innocent untill proven guilty.") In the law, there are very few things that are "cut and dry." Most things are loosely defined so they can be interpretated as needed. I have heard of cops dropping major charges for minor charges quite often. The other guy I was racing got let of too. Cops are not out to get you. Its not like he was caught in a drug deal, he was racing.

Like I said before, look into all options before you go and drop $500 on a lawyer. And it doesnt have to do anything with "if you can't possibly come up with $500 for a lawyer, then you shouldn't street race." Its "why would you spend the money if you don't have to."

But I am sure cops in different areas act differently. Maybe the cops out here are just a lot more undertsanding an lienant. Who knows.
