QUESTION
I want to fight the ticket, but what do you I need to do?
Asked on Mar 01st, 2013 on Criminal Law - Michigan
More details to this question:
I was pulled over by a city cop for yielding/running a stop sign. From memory, I could've sworn it was a yield sign, but I didn’t want to argue with the cop. I accepted my ticket and moved on. I rode by the so-called stop sign just the other day and it was a yield sign! This is my first ticket so I have no idea.

Plead not guilty and take photos of the location, along with the street signs. Retain a lawyer or represent yourself at the trial and tell the judge what happened.

You can hire an attorney or attend court and see if the officer appears. If he or she does not, do not plead guilty or not guilty and ask the judge to dismiss your case.

Take a picture of the intersection, the yield sign, everything. Go to court and fight the charge. If you aren't comfortable speaking in court, hire an attorney to help you.

Visit a lawyer in the city in which the sign was located and tell him your story. He will know how to proceed. Do it quickly, as most traffic tickets have a 14 day limit on responses.
