yep, sure does. Take pics in a way that clearly shows the sign being blocked out. Also, was it school time or children present?

Don't just pay them bitches, hire a lawyer. It might cost a little more than the ticket itself, but won't go on your DMV record or rise your insurance cost.

just an fyi- washington changed the law back in june so that you don't actually have to sign a ticket. good luck with the misspelling, i'm pretty sure you're still going to be fucked, as he probably wrote down your license # correctly.

ya its been changed, they used to ask all the time for you to sign the ticket. it seems like the last two years they dont even bother with it(could be last june for the whole state)but seems like they havent been having me sign anything for longer then that. i asked my lawyer awhile back and he said it doesnt matter any more. cops in my town are just as shitty. last year i got 3 to loud of exhaust tickets. on one court date i had 2 to loud of exhaust tickets and a seat belt ticket. i was able to get out of all three. every signle ticket i got was going to work at midnight while there looking for drunk drivers. which meant they loved pulling me over hoping i was drunk because they had a easy excuse to pull me over. then not sure why but last year seemed like every cop wanted to give me a ticket for something last year. i know if they get the street wrong its a easy off, and its never hurts to get a traffic lawyer and ask him how easy it is to get off the ticket with a screwed up last name. sometimes when you go in by yourself and bring something up like that they will just laugh and try and make you look stupid. but if a lawyer does it, its a whole different story.

I jumped a green light today and boosted to 65mph, saw a cop on the oncoming side of traffic throw his lights on and cut over to make a U-turn.. I turned down the next neighborhood and saw him fly by in my mirrors, hahah

it's a promise to appear, not admitting guilt.

well here almost everything is elective unless its a dui or underage, and our courts never have the issuing officer present, never befor a judge always a court official, and always in a room with about 50 other people. they are like mass sessions, and it goes 1 person at a time in no order until it is done.

I might just end up fixing the problems and stop by a local PD to get the ---- checked off before mailing in the ticket.
