Re: Pulled over

I was driving on a bridge between 2 towns i was in town A lets say and i slamed on the breakes to not hit a squirl i was pulled over by a cop from town B and given a careless driving ticked and was told the reason i got it was the person behind me almost hit me. First of all I was in town A not town B so he had no right to do that without calling a copy from town A seecondly if i slam on my breaks to avoid somthing and the person behind me almost hits me shouldent that person get a ticket for following to close not me when i said to the cop i was in town a and your are fron town b he said he can give me a ticket when i spoke to town a pollice in town a they informed me he should have called town a and had town a handel it im so upset i havent had a ticket in years 10 years i even had 15 family membeer pba card and a big shieled in my window and he dident care and he is on his on video camera saying he can give me a ticket in any town and that its my fault someone almost rearended me just arg what do i do

What was the specific violation he cited you for? If you are a NMA member I would start exploring the resources available here and start building your defense for court. You didn't plead guilty right? Your first step is to plead not guilty and get your court date set. Then start building your defense. Not trying to be mean here but try to be more attentive to detail than you were in your post above. All your typos make you difficult to understand. If it means enough to you, take the time to do it right.

Good luck to you.

Well sorry I dont spell well and when i wront it i just got home from it . I was pulled over by a cop and given a careless driving ticket cause i slamed on the break to avoid an animal secondly the town is split in the middel of the bridge i was in town a and he was from town b. I shouldent have been given a ticket for 2 reasons he was in the wrong town and its not my fault someone was hanging on the rear of my car and almost hit me cause i stop to avoid an animal thanks

Is it possible that this officer from town B has jurisdiction in town A? Sometimes police are given jurisdiction in a neighboring town so first you would need to look into that but you shouldn't assume that will get you out of the ticket.

I agree that almost anytime a rear-ending occurs, the person in back is found guilty because they should be following at enough distance to allow them to stop should the person in front of them have to brake for any reason.

Problem is, it's going to be your word against the cop in court but look to the NMA to help you out. Start by pleading not guilty and request a copy of the back of his citation to see what he said about the incident.
