Sucks, after only 2 month of owning the car. Got a ticket for allegedly going 63 in a 40. For those who are from NYC - southbound on FDR right before the entrance to the battery park tunnel (the one that connects FDR and West Side Hwy), a stationary black unmarked Crown Vic. Haven't gotten one since the summer of 2000 (I think) and am wondering what to do.
So the big question - is it worth getting a lawyer for a $140 6-point ticket or should I go to court by myself? If the answer is "yes" can someone recommend a good one. Thanks.

 

hey man are you still looking for a good traffic lawyer casue i have a good one. pm me for info

 

yeaa bro i fought mine and i gott out cause i ****ed the 50 yr old judge rite in her office

 

did you believe this story?

 

yeah man, careful on the FDR past the brooklyn bridge.. they hideout in blind spots./

 

sorry to hear about your misfortune. I work right by water & wall st.; I always see that punk on the fdr sitting his fat @ss on the hood of the car holding his radar at the trafrfic... Peolpe get picked off so easy there... When I head home from work; I always see that cop writing a ticket.....good luck fighting the ticket

 

Bunch of my good friends have an aprt on 45 Wall. I use to live on fulton and william a while back too. You drive your G into the city for work?

Thanks. I tried to, but your PM box is full.

 

But all the times I've seen the cop there, it was on the northbound side right underneath the bridge. This is the first time in the ~6 years I have been driving there that the cop was on the southbound side right before the entrance to the tunnel running underneath the park.

 

It's going to be hard unless you know someone.
My co-worker got pulled over during lunch coming back from Brooklyn, for speeding, changing lane with no signal, and it was on the bridge or right near the entrance.
He brought in 2 state troopers and his dad works for the city of Rode Island, so his lucky *** got off with no penalty. But it was going to be yea, $$$, plus 6 points.
Good luck fighting it off. let us know how it turns out

 

A brief update:
1. Props to MrBillMartin for recommending a very good lawyer, even though I ended up going with another guy recommended by a buddy of mine, because his office is in the city.
2. Went to 125th street on Fri. The cop showed up, the judge was allowing him to read off his notes. So the lawyer and I decided to push back the trial date and it's now set for August 23rd.
3. Spent a part of my tax rebate on V1. The sucker refuses to stick to the windshield, so I'm planning to mount it on the visor and use a remote display stuck on top of the stalk cover behind the steering wheel.

 

very cool. gota love when your lawyer keeps pushing the date back. thats what we pay them the big bucks for. my date is june 22nd. if convicted thats 15 points for me thats why i went with the best.

really your v1 isn't sticking that doesn't sound right. but the remote display is very cool. however u hook it up as long as u keep it on when on the highways and parkways you could drive the g the way it should be driven.

good luck in august.

 

delay it again . They allow you do delay it twice in nyc so take advantage.

 

So how did it go?
