So a cop pulled me over for "failure to move over for emergency vehicle/wrecker with lights activated on multi-lane roadway," but I couldn't move over because of the median strip and traffic on the other side of the roadway. He wrote the state statue section correctly, but he specified that I failed to move over in the violation/comment as quoted above. Is there any way I can get out of paying this?
pic related, it was the cop writing my ticket as two cars pass us going 10-15 mph over the limit as I passed him going 5 mph under
Yes, go to court yourself and combat it, or hire a traffic lawyer (usually cost 100 dollars).
Most judges are pretty reasonable.
Yeah if you go to court most of the time you'll win. Hell, most of the time the cop won't even show up because he won't get paid.

It won't matter if the statue he wrote it in is right? I mean like I said earlier he wrote that I failed to move over, but he verbally pulled me over for going at speed limit vs under 20. This guy is a dick and I just want to make sure if I bring it to a hearing that I won't get fucked by a court fine (if the county judge officer determines you have committed the offense, the officer may impose a penalty of up to $500).

I read somewhere that cops are starting to go to court more often now because they are getting paid overtime for going on a day off or something like that? I might be wrong but I don't want to get this guy extra money for showing up to something I might lose at

If you can speak another language, say that English isn't your first language and ask for a translator so you can defend your case in court better
Hiring a translator is a major pain in the ass, causes a delay, wastes time, and its expensive as fuck, so courts will usually drop it instead of going through the trouble just for a traffic ticket

Pay it you fucking retard. Maybe next time you shouldn't be a fucking ass-clown on the road. I have no sympathy for faggots like you who try to justify speeding and general assholery on the road.
