BF2S Forums EE Chats - August!

Always admit your fault and apologize for it. Cops and judges don't like people who pretend to be ignorant of the law. I had a summons in NJ once for speeding. The judge was nice enough to lower the recorded speed I was doing in order to put me into a lower bracket of offense. Still had to shell out $290 to the state of New Jersey. Bleh.

lol wtf that's retarded. I'm still gonna dress nice, don't wanna take my chances. I'd like to think the judge would rather see someone who respects his/her courtroom unlike the town drunk who shows up in a mullet and a filthy Lynyrd Skynyrd t-shirt.

But yeah it's been a month since I got the citation and I'm still not in the court's system. Maybe the cop was a Good Guy Greg and just gave me the citation to scare me straight and then tossed his copy?

If you dress nice, they assume that you should know better than to break the law, and that you have more money. Most of the people judges see every day are morons.

go fuck yourself niggard, a moron would just sit around and never try to find out when his trial is and then end up with an arrest warrant for missing his court date

Hurri, I wasn't calling you a moron. Every time I've had to go to court (for one ticket, I had to appear four different times because they kept pushing it back), the court room has been full of people in hoodies and Ed Hardy t-shirts.

no, don't always admit your fault. 

when you go for a court summons, you have 3 ways to plead-
not guilty
guilty
guilty with a reason

not guilty will resort in a court date for trial.  the judge will tell you that if you are found guilty, the state will try to give you the maximim punishment

guilty will resort in the judge assessing you a fine.  If you are lucky enough to have the city attorney present, get ready to pay the maximum fine.  If not, usually the judge will give you a slap on the wrist and the minimum sentence

guilty with a reason will resort in the judge giving you no lenience, could resort in you pissing the judge off and assessing the maximum fine/sentence.  It virtually never leads to a reduction.

Usually it's stupid assholes who think they are on trial that plead guilty with a reason.  If you plead guilty, the judge will not care about the details of the crime and how there was no way you could avoid it.  Simply accept responsibility (don't make excuses) and move on.

Things that could impact the judges assessment-
how you dress
how many assholes plead guilty with a reason before you get up there
how many assholes try to argue with the judge before you get up there
how close to the end of the day or lunch you go up there

@Rick how would I know my date if 1) these fuckers haven't mailed it out yet and 2) it's not even in the system yet

@Jay I know, it was Cisse calling me a moron. I know what you meant, hell even I'm a bit of a moron for trying to get into OC's most popular bar with a really shitty fake ID.

there's only one OC.  Just like there's only one Long Beach. And neither are on the east coast.

Yep, they forced the cigarette companies to remove all brand names from them. Land of the free.
