court advice

[aznbmxxxer]

I went to court for not having proof of insurance, so I went to the arraignment and showed the judge my papers, he said it was not valid cause the insurance was the same day I got the ticket and he believed that I got the ticket and then got insurance.
I got the ticket around noon time, and got insurance a few hours before. I was in a hurry to a so-cal ride so I didn't get the insurance papers that were faxed to a friends house cause I didn't think I'd get pulled over.
So I had to plea not guilty, but is the judge allowed to do that based on his belief when all the facts say it was legit?

[2.2 Straight six]

can you get the insurance company to send proof of time the insurance was taken out?

if you can prove you were insured before being pulled over, you have no problem. they should have a record of the time it was confirmed.

What facts? You showed him a slip of paper, dated the same day as the ticket? hardly a fact at all.

If you want to beat it, you should talk to the insurance company, getting a letter, explaining the time your insurance was active.

did you pay any money to the insurance company that day?
if yes get proof of that payment hopfully it has the time on it

As stated before, get a statement from the ins co of what time the policy became active.
