发帖数: 1354 | 1 I was given a "holding cell phone" ticket, charge number 1225d. It is a
ticket for 150 dollars and 3 points. I am thinking of fighting the ticket,
because I think it was unjustified. See my earlier post
http://www.mitbbs.com/article_t0/NewYork/32520693.html
Anyone has fighten a ticket before at the Traffic Violation Bureau (TVB)? Is
there any downside to fight it? Should I hire a lawyer (how much would that
cost?)?
Thanks! |

- Get an official copy of your detailed phone and text bills
- TVB is not court of law, you have no rights and are guilty until proven
otherwise
Keep these in mind and you may have a chance |

evidence, questioning witness, etc. If you have the official phone call
list that proves you have no calls at the time, you might have a chance.
Of course you will have to pay court cost etc., if you lose.
