You do realize the trooper has to sign off on the plea. I tried to get a moving violation in nj to a non moving violation. The judge was willing to work with me but the prosecutor was not having it.
I hope it works out for you. I'm figuring the trooper may put a note in his file about you wanting a ticket instead of a warning. He may not agree with you trying to plead it down because he was going to give you a warning.
Did he write up a inspection report about you blowing the scale? It happened to me in nj I just took the warning & kept it moving no big deal was not worried about csa points it came off in 3 years. It didn't affect my license or job beep beep
Pleading down inspection violation?

BTW; a parking violation in a city freeways is a 1 1/2 point. At least in L.A. county.americantrucker89, BoxCarKidd and Flat Earth Trucker Thank this. -

You realize that pleading down a ticket and the CSA points system are two very different animals?
You can totally get the judge to throw your ticket out and then the CSA Gods can say “ I don’t think so” and award you all the points of the violation to your CSA score.
Good luck with a dataQ challenge if you actually did the crime no matter what the judge did with the ticket.ibcalm19 Thanks this. -

americantrucker89 Thanks this.

The response was just because a DA let the violation be pled down for motor vehicle points and monetary reasons it did not negate the fact that the original safety violation occurred.
Please post the case so I can see it as I have never seen this before? -
americantrucker89 Thanks this.

Yup for those who don’t know: warnings are actually worse than tickets are as you get the points regardless and have no way of contesting them. It’s kind of unfortunate because most troopers think they’re doing us a favor by writing us a warning and in reality it does the exact opposite
