Do you think the judge will have mercy on me and let me go. Thanks

Answer 1

no...h**l no....look a license plate is just a tax sticker----tell the judge that you have paid for the back time that you did not have a plate....and that after you paid all of your back tax and tax for this year...you can not afford to pay a fine..ask him if he can understand why..you forgot or whatever...tell him the truth...never lie to a judge...good luck!

Answer 2

It is always worth pleading not guilty and try to make a deal with the city/village attorney.

Answer 3

Thats what I did.  It worked.

Answer 4

you can try

it will help that you corrected the problem

Answer 5

Depends on the judge and the court.  If you are found guilty, most courts will set up a payment plan that you can follow.

Answer 6

It depends on a lot of things; some states are more strict with traffic tickets than others.

-If you haven't had any moving violations in the past two years

-If you are a college student or single parent (in my experience if you say you are a student with a lot of expenses they reduce the fine)

Usually when you go to court they will reduce the fine, especially since its just expired plates.

Answer 7

Nope.  a fine is a fine, and you are guilty of that infraction and the ticket is valid.  He might offer a payment plan, but if you take up the courts time, he is going to add court costs as well.

Answer 8

If the plates are renewed immediately, the Judge may consider this compliance, and dismiss the charge.  A lot will depend on how long the plates were expired.  Stating that you can not afford the fine is not a defense.  You will just be given a payment option.

Answer 9

Usually, they will reduce it, but they have some options available to them.  They can let you provide community service, they can put you on a payment plan, probably more  But, I would expect to pay some of the ticket.
