Got a $367 speeding ticket in a town 2 hours away from me, when the highway was completely fucking empty at 2am.
From what I've been reading online, its fairly easy to contest these because the officer has so many other cases to deal with you can plea bargain it down or have it even dismissed depending on the situation.
Anyone ever done this and can give me some tips on how to get started, or who to talk to? This is my first time ever getting pulled over, and I'm a broke college student who cannot afford this insane charge.

You do realize they do payment plans, right? Anyway just go to court and if the officer doesn't show up they will usually dismiss it. If he shows up you are fucked though. Just a gamble. Worst case scenario you just have to pay the ticket.

Not op. But the officer will have to write an essay about the incident. I don't know whats it called, but it works
just pay it. you shouldn't have been speeding in the first place

just say you thought you left the fire on or some emergency excuse.

It's called a fucking report.

You decided to speed? You might get lucky if you try.

Yes I know, but I'm still paying way too much for barely speeding.

Fuck off, I know that. I had friends who needed to work in the morning and it was 2am and I was 2 hours from home. Sometimes shit happens.

How? In court, written? I live 2 hours away so idk how I'm even supposed to fight this.

Yeah, due to reasons above. That's what I'm hoping for.
