You would be going after the right market, 95% of people just pay their ticket ;)

However, by lowering the barrier to legal representation it is our goal that TicketTitan may increase the percentage of people who fight. For example, did you know that in most states by paying a ticket you admit guilt of the violation, which often results in points on your license and insurance increases? Fighting a ticket in Court, even without a lawful defense, may result in dismissal, no conviction, no points, no school, and/or reduced fines.

Or, as parent suggests, you could just take responsibility for your actions...

Not every traffic ticket is fairly given.

Exactly. See Chicago's photo red light debacle. And that's a case where otherwise I'd support the idea because running red lights kills and maims people with a much higher incidence than say speeding on the highway.

The two speeding tickets I've gotten: one was deserved, but I still fought it for a minimal (standard) plea bargain reduction. The other, the cop flat out lied twice. He said he used pace method, yet was never going the speed I was (he came upon me like a bullet and I wasn't speeding); but then the ticket had the radar box checked, and I said I wouldn't sign it until he corrected it. He said he wasn't going to change the ticket and if I didn't sign it he'd take me to jail. Small podunk town in Kansas just randomly pulling people over to make money. Modern day highwayman.

... Did you win?

I didn't know HN loved cops so much. In what way is paying a ticket taking "responsibility for your actions"?

[untog]

Both you and the OP are being pretty black and white about this. Paying for speeding tickets you deserve because you were speeding is hardly "loving cops so much".

[wcummings]

Language like "deserve" is what I'm criticizing. Fighting a traffic ticket isn't a moral failure.

[untog]

I mean, if you were speeding above the limit then you do "deserve" a ticket. Everyone is bound by the rules of the road.

[ryguytilidie]

This is SUCH an insufferable point of view. You're seriously of the belief that all traffic tickets are valid and that citizens who gasp dare to fight these tickets in court is are not responsible people?

[thinkmoore]

My comments parent did say fighting "without a lawful defense." I'm pretty sure that fighting an invalid ticket is a lawful defense.
