Before Entering A Plea (??)
Hi Everybody,
I was so pleased with your help on that MTO question, I thought I would give'er again, this time about courts and pleas.
This story was told to me like I'm telling it to you guys - I don't know if it's correct or not, but I wanted to ask.
Driver was given a ticket, but the driver felt the ticket did not apply to his situation. Then the driver was given some advice by a retired legal professional that goes something like this: 'Order the officer's notes and then show up at the courthouse on the correct day, and when your case comes up, DO NOT enter a plea. Tell the presiding JP that you feel there has been an error, and that you have seen no evidence that the law applies to you. But whatever happens, say that BEFORE entering a plea either way. If you enter a plea, you are 'agreeing' that the law applies to your situation, but you want to dispute some aspect of it.'
Anyone have any advice in this matter? Has anyone heard of this?
Thanks in advance!
