Try "ticket clinic" dot com.

 

just some fyi the too fast to avoid means you were going to fast for any condition that prevented itself. It is a catch all and is a very very broad umbrella.

 

Why'd you even stop?? Your Askin for trouble.. These cops today are programmed to initiate an issue when there doesn't have to be 1.

So I'm painting a picture here...You bent a stop sign..Waited for the police to show..he helped you bend it back (thinking this is the right thing to do,).. THEN, The stop sign support breaks in 2.... lol..And Then it goes from ASSISTING you to causing stress and aggravation via a accident report and ticket.

screw that....Next Time, Just go......Cops don't believe in "common sense" assistance anymore.

 

When someone damages state property such as a sign there is a immediate report etc at least here that has to be made.

 

Call the Vermillion County States Attorneys Office and ask to speak with the traffic assistant. Dont call on Monday morning, that is the worst day of the week to catch an attorney in a courthouse. Offer to pay $100 to replace the sign. In exchange they drop the ticket. There is a very good chance they will agree, the ticket is dismissed and you save lots of $$$ for a lawyer who may not be very interested in your troubles anyway, other than to get your check.

 

Try this first. It seemed the officer tried to help you out also. When we did a collision report we had to issue a citation. Now if you go to him after the collision etc. he may drop it for you before court. That is common actually and could save you money.

 

Illinois has a minimum threshold for accident reports of $1500 or more damage or injury to a person. In this case no accident needed even be done. Thats why i would recommend dealing directly with the traffic assistant as he/she will be aware of that. Trying to get an officer to dismiss a ticket in todays climate of anti-police will likely result in nothing.

 

Of course I have no idea of what I am talking about.

 

I read this sentence four times and I'm still unable to decipher any meaning from this combination of words.
