Don't trip, you probably won't even get it in the mail. Nothing has came for me in the mail twice.. Different circumstances, but right along the same lines. Kind of..

IF and WHEN you get it, ask for discovery and give us a play by play of everything because im sure there is a few loop holes we can aim for.

Just let us know if and when you actually get anything, then we can talk..


Options are:

-Lawyer, possibly get everything dropped but pay $!

-Pay ticket, prolly non-moving, insurance isn't effected anyway, pay $ which is prolly cheaper then a lawyer. (I don't think employers will give a sh*t if you were at the street races)

-Differal, Probably most expensive, but no chances are taken except that you won't get arrested in the next 12 months.

 

first off i wasnt smoking weed a**hole i was hanging out talking to my friends about cars and ****. i wasnt racing or anything like that. i didnt say i shouldnt have gotten it either all i ask was does someone know that it is. im going to pay for the damn thing and move on i would just like to be prepared, but keep making coments that dont help. thanks

 

thanks koevo

 

That's intelligent. I guess I'm supposed to assume that the asterisks were suppose to be some sort of curse word directed at me since I mentioned "weed". If so then thanks, it made me feel all fuzzy and warm inside and I'll try not to lose any sleep over it.

Maybe next time when you ask for advice you should post why you got the ticket instead of leaving it open to debate. I don't know...just a suggestion. When you get a criminal citation it encompasses a handful of criminal acts and usually it's mandatory for you to have to show up for court. Since the cop just called in your ticket and didn't physically give you anything in writing it was most likely just a scare tactic.

 

i thought that saying i got a criminal citation at the races was enough, but anyways sorry man im jsut pissed about the thing and i hope that your right about calling it in was a scare tactic. one thing is though im just going to go to SIR and not there anymore.

 

Yea do one or the other... hahaha

 

No big deal Man, we're all here to help and some of us joke around so don't take it seriously. Good luck either way.

 

I agree

 

i agree too, cuz dont you have to sign any citation as an agreement to go to court or watevers and acknowledgement of recieving it?

 

OOOPS ^^ He already said it...

 

Washington police sound more like Russia police, that's a scary thought.

 

I am guessing since you havent gotten anything in the mail yet, that you have nothing to worry about,,,,,,,

 

Just don't sign for any letters you get in the next few weeks. If it just arrives in standard mail, I doubt it's legal (what if it was lost in the mail???) If you don't sign for a registered letter, then you can't receive it. I doubt it'll come anyway.

 

Bro, check this out. Kent has a city code for it here

http://www.ci.kent.wa.us/citycode/kent0942.asp

The part that applies to you is this

9.42.020 Unlawful race attendance – Prohibited.
Any person (1) who has actual or constructive knowledge that they are in a designated SOAR area and (2) who has actual or constructive knowledge that an unlawful race event is occurring, has occurred, or is about to occur, and (3) was there with the intent to observe or support or encourage the unlawful race event, is guilty of a misdemeanor.

This KCC will probably be on your Criminal Citiation. Since it is a Misdemeanor you will have to go to court. However, the reason you get a court date is so the judge can here your side of the story. If you were indeed just hanging out with friends, you may have just been in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Also read up on this

http://www.ci.kent.wa.us/citycode/kent0943.asp

It explains SOAR areas. (Stay Out of Areas of Racing) Reading further it looks like you may have been in a designated SOAR area. Same deal, wrong place at the wrong time. Contace the City clerk (number listed on the web sight) They will have the best information about the process, and whether they have a Criminal Citation headed your direction. Either way, you have the right attitude of just taking care of it. If that means fighting it, then more power to you. The ABSOLUTE WORST thing you can do is ignore it. Criminal Citations carry court dates........missed court dates turn into warrants!!!! food for thought..

Hope that helps
