I have the number for one of those traffic attorneys in my phone.
Just dial it when pulled over and tell the cop I'm contacting my attorney now.
Any interference in that is big time cop gets fired and lawsuits get filed.
Friend did it and the cop just told him to watch his speed and walked away.
They pray on your ignorance of the law.
As soon as you get a lawyer the playing field gets leveled and they don't want to waist time on that.
To many other fish to fry.
How does calling your attorney help in that situation? Aren’t they just going to write you a ticket and hand it to you? It’s not like the lawyer can prevent it.
Don't even actually have get ahold of one.
Its just letting the cop think you have one and will use one.
Remember 90 percent of the people he issues tickets to pay the fine without a fight.
Knowing you will use an attorney means that he has to do way more paperwork and show up on court date prepared.
I'm not saying you will not get a ticket.
But cooperating but not rolling over will
Make them think twice.
No matter what the outcome it will tie the cop up doing paperwork he will have to record the entire stop to prepare for court.
Ever noticed sometimes when a cop finishes a stop they stay there working on the computer and sometimes they take off right away.
If somebody says see you in court they have to record the details of the stop.
Wouldn’t it be better to let them skimp on the paperwork and then when you go to court the lawyer can actually win for you? This doesn’t really make sense. Why even warm them so they can prepare?
It really isn't any extra work to cite a driver who has a lawyer. It's extra expense for the driver, though, and possibly a nice overtime call-out for the cop.
I had a few dozen tickets contested with lawyers, and the driver was only acquitted once. She ended up spending $3000 dollars on a $242 cite. If she had been going less than 40 mph through that residential street, it would have cost her zero dollars.
Just don’t talk to the police.
