I recently got Stopped for wreckless driving what should i do in my case?
OK i was painting for this afterschool project and when i left i was happy. Well i turned and for my friends to see me i stepped on my Big Suburban almost two tons! i have flomasters makes it louder and i went from like 5 to 20 in 2 or 3 second without burning out! Well cop zooms in and i didn't know!!! i stop at a stop sing then turn right go normal and about 3 yards stops me!! He got out of his car and tells me whats my name i say "angel" he said "Stop Playing" and i told him i wasn't. He then checks my documents and goes to his car comes out like 10 mins later and gives me a ticket for wreckless driving! what the hell? To get wreckless driving by law you quote, " Arkansas Code,Title27(Transportation), Subtitle 4 (Motor Vehicular Traffic), Chapter 50 (Penalties and Enforcement), Subchapter 3 (Offenses and Penalties Generally (a) Any person who drives any vehicle in such a manner as to indicate a wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property is guilty of reckless driving

That is one of the MOST Vague descriptions of wreckless driving out there. All the cop has to do is say he felt the way you accelerated was wreckless and your screwed even if you didn't spin your tires. This to me sounds more like the case of Cop saw a cute girl in a Suburban, Testosterone levels went up, He stopped you with somewhat of a cause but his real intentions were to flirt/get your # something along those lines, You probably came off as a ***** or gave him the cold shoulder, he got pissed and wrote you a ticket that would stick. All he'd have to say is you accelerated to quickly for the conditions. IF your friends especially an adult saw you and they can all verify that you were NOT wreckless in your behavior that is a plus. IF you feel confident in yourself, I would file a complaint against said officer with the PD stating that you feel you were given this ticket as a punishment for not flirting back with the officer, Take it to court bring yoru witnesses and a copy of your complaint and I'd be willing to bet you walk scott free while MR. I'm a badass gets some serious reprimanding.

to procure a cost ticket for wreckless utilizing because you admitted to an officer that your turn-flop were given stuck between the pedals. That replaced into stupid. Did you ever listen the word"something you're saying can and could be held adversarial to you"? You baited your own hook. Hiring an criminal specialist is now only a waste of money, no valid criminal specialist will contact your case because he's acquainted with its a loser. yet i'd purely be particular you position on the turn-flops into courtroom so that you'll educate the decide purely how they were given stuck, because perhaps he's had that take position to him too.

i don't know how things are in Arkansas but in California
when you go to traffic court and the cop that gave you the ticket it, don't show up, the ticket automatically gets dismissed. Take it to traffic court and see if he shows up or not. But if he does than you usually won't win. So ask the judge for a lower payment and see what the judge says.

the officer has to prove that you were operating the vehicle in a willfull and wanton way as to cause bodily injury to someone, in other words he has to prove you did not have control of the vehicle nad that you could have hurt someone because of thar. i am sure you did not run stop sign on purpose just forgot it was there or just did not brake in time. he has to prove you quilty.
