  • So I get a letter from the City of Arlington for a court date

    ...On running a red light and wrong address on driver's license from 2005. Really Arlington? 6 years ago? You gotta be shitting me. Anyone here on the APD? Is this officer still even on the force?

              The wheels of justice turn very slowly, they are loaded down with donuts.

                  Just pay it CJ, no use in wasting your time with those revenue generating bastards. Its going to cost you many trips to the court house and if you have to hire an attorney its even more $$$. And dont forget to get a receipt or the next time you get pulled over there will be a warrant and it will cost even more, thats just the way they operate.

                        No.

                        CJ, they can wait 2 years to file for the class C offenses, per the statute of limitations. There is also a way for the courts to re-file the warrants after the 2 year cycle has ended. I personally haven't heard any stories about red light camera citations going this long though. Interesting.

                          Set it for trial. When you get to cross-examine, see if the officer can still identify you and remembers details of the offense.

                          You recall one traffic stop from six years ago?

                            Well from what I know it's neither of those. It's way past 2 years - this was a ticket I apparently received from an officer. I handed it off to my attorney, and the attorney set a court date for plea, but it's been 6 years. This is before red light cameras even existed, so that's out.

                              pass the note along to your attorney. You shouldnt have to show if he is representing you, IIRC.
