best options for traffic violations???

Just needed some advice as to the best options regarding traffic violations???

1. pay the ticket
2. go to court and hope the copper didn't show up or maybe the
judge will show lienency and reduce fine or take points off
3. ask for deferment and pay heavily and hope no further violations in
the next year
4. go to traffice school and have points removed
5. file a citizens complaint about the unfair ticket and hope the officers
superior will delete the ticket

any help or advice is greatly appreciated

just pay the ticket

paying the ticket is your worst option...GAURENTEED

Everyone I know, that has ever gone to court (I'm talking about dozens and dozens of incidents ranging from speeding, to running redlights, to street racing) has gotten their offences reduced by going to court. Simply paying the ticket is what they want...not what you want. You'll lose that money and get screwed continually by your insurance company.

Now I have no experience with deferment and/or traffic school (as my state doesn't have these to my knowledge) so those you will have to research more. But my advice is the following: Don't put off the court date...just get one and go. Be polite, and try and cut a deal (as they will try and offer one 99% of the time) Plead it down to a lesser charge...perferably one that will not affect your insurance. Once you are done, take a defensive driving course or traffic school to get whatever remaining points off your license, etc.
Best of luck.

I would sue em, call for racism or something. Get the cop fired

Unless the cop actually discriminated against you, that is a prickish move, and we don't want to hear about it.

Edit: after reading your thread, I understand. However, in your situation, I do believe you were in the wrong by
A) speeding
B) I believe, as mustangman pointed out in the other thread, that you misunderstood the situation about driving to work/school
C) not having your insurance card+registration with you.

So, even if the cop wasn't completely cooperative in regards to your hearing, understand you both were in the wrong. Going after the officer (suing or attempting to get him fired), and arguing your difficulty in hearing to get out of the tickets, are two different things. Choose wisely.
