I have been pulled over 3 times in 8 months. 1st was a verbal warning, 2nd was a $60 ticket and was treated like a parking ticket, 3rd one was today 50 in a 35 $164, and went on my record. Yes all my fault BUT, the last 2 cops have said that my plates have been ran ALOT. To the point where even the cop today pretty much said yeah your plate is getting run too much so I gotta teach you a lesson not to speed. Now note, I have a 2021 charger scat pack widebody, that is driven in CHICAGO, where these cars are one of the most stolen cars. (I said that to him and he responds with "were not in Chicago". I got pulled over in franklin park, literally 10 mins from Chicago, meaning this car still get stolen) Obviously, cops will be running my plates right, but they would have pulled me over if I was doing something wrong I'm guessing right? Do I have to sell my car and get a less "speed looking" one so I dont get targeted??
No you don’t have to sell your car. But you should know that you’ve got eyes on you because you’re in a car that is often stolen. So whether it is right or wrong and whether you like it or not….cops are going to run you. There’s nothing illegal about that.
It’s really going to depend on the courthouse and your driving record. If the ticket was issued in the Chicagoland area, I can pretty confidently say you don’t have to worry about jail. However, other counties may be different. Also, your driving record really matters. A first-timer is going to catch more breaks than someone who has 6 prior aggravated speeders on their record (We’ve had clients with that). Since it is a misdemeanor, you may want a lawyer. It’s close enough to 100 mph that a prosecutor or judge could give you a real hard time. The few hundred bucks a lawyer will charge you is usually worth it. Good luck!

Hello sir! I was pulled over for going 88 in a 45. I was pulled over at around 11pm, clear road conditions. I was driving on Lake Cook Rd. It was in Riverwoods. The officer was very nice and respectful. The court is located in Mundelein. He said I can attend through Zoom. I have never been pulled over nor have I been issued a ticket. I am very scared that I will be locked up. What will happen to me?
I am not your lawyer and I am not giving you legal advice. But, we’ve handled hundreds of tickets like this in that courtroom. Practically speaking, the chances of you going to jail are almost zero. Besides, you’ll be on zoom!! But for real, it’s a misdemeanor so it can affect your criminal record and driving record. Might want a lawyer. Call us and at least get a quote.
It's useless to hire a traffic attorney in Illinois. As a regular citizen with no law license, I could get the same thing done as a lawyer, so why did the traffic attorneys wasted 5 years in law school? And the useless bar exam? To do the same thing for people which any citizen could do themselves without any law license. True fact.
I got pulled over going 99 in a 60 in on I88 near Naperville. It's my first aggravated ticket I got a speeding ticket in Iowa for going 55 in a 35 in January. So I do have a history of speeding but never aggravated speeding. What's the chances I might be arrested? And should I start trying to find a lawyer? And what's the chances I may be able to get court supervision or get it reduced? I'm super worried about this because even if I don't go to jail my future relies on my driving record. I am currently going to school to be a diesel tech so this would seriously effect job opportunities for the next 3-5 yrs
Jacob, I'm sorry to hear you got a speeding ticket. The chances of going to jail are VERY unlikely. While it is possible, it is not the common practice for a ticket 39 mph over the limit and only one prior. Should you find a lawyer? Yes. Absolutely. Call our office if you want and ask to talk to me. But even if it's not us, find a lawyer you trust. I cannot comment on the possible outcome. Instead your focus should be on hiring a lawyer. Good luck.
@@SilentHellVG don't sweat it. If you don't have an attorney one will speak to you there and give you the terms for you to accept or decline if you accept hell talk to the judge once you're called up there and say you agree to x amount of hours of volunteer work for non profit and court supervision and then you're good to go... that's the most likely outcome especially if the officer didn't arrest you.

I got pulled over for going 92 in a 70 by ISP District 1 by Sterling I am not required to go to court but this is my first traffic ticket what should I do?
You have 3 options: You can pay and receive a conviction. That's a bad idea. You can plead guilty and request court supervision. That can be an OK idea if you don't want to go to court and just want to get it done with. Your third option is to fight the ticket in court. You can do that yourself or your can hire a lawyer to do it. So I can't decide what you should do but the best way to decide is to talk to a local lawyer in Sterling and see what they say.
This is my first time getting pulled over, I got caught speeding 64 on a 35. I got a ticket to show up in joliet court next but I dont have to pay for any fine. I dont know what to expect in court
You don’t current have any court fine because it is just an open, pending criminal case. It’s not like a traffic ticket where there is a pre-determined fine. It will get resolved in court. And it’s a smart idea to bring a lawyer with you.
@@EustassKid16 My lawyer went to court in my behalf, I received a reduced sentence and a 6 months court supervision. I had to take traffic classes and a few more, and paid for fines and court $400
Hello, sir... I'll make this short. I appeared in court for aggravated speeding, I was stopped at 1:00 am. On the ticket, it shows 9:14 am. A video of the stop was requested, state failed to provide the video. Case was dismissed. Now, can the state come after me if the video is found? Thanks
It depends what happened in court and how much time has passed. But in reality, it is EXTREMELY unlikely that they will refile is this case was in the Chicagoland area.
@@driverdefenseteam Will County, Joliet. Ok here's what happened exactly.. it is baffling. The vehicle I was driving is under my brother's name, after I was pulled over I was given 2 tickets (1 for me and for my brother who was 700 miles away in his semi-tractor), in addition to that; a vehicle impoundment to be released after 2,500 is paid. After I was given the ticket I drove away (no detention). Later after I reviewed the tickets I realized that the time stamp on my ticket was wrong, when the video was obtained it showed that it was not me driving, so the ticket was dismissed. The prosecutor however, went after my brother. Our attorney requested the body cam video, in that video was ME (the officer mentioned my name when addressing me). Not my brother, however still no dismissal and another court date was set for bench trial. The ticket with my brother name on it had multiple errors (wrong expiration date, wrong driver's license class, etc). Every attorney, law enforcement, etc, that I spoken to about this situation were literally scratching their heads and couldn't make heads or tails of it. Thanks again.
@@driverdefenseteam I know my story is hard to believe, perhaps that's why it is ignored. That aside, sir, I'd be more than happy to provide you the report number (citation number).
Hello Sir I got a petty ticket speeding 1-25 If I do the traffic course will it be clear my driving record. I have a clean record. Please advise. Appreciated
If you do "court diversion" by pleading guilty, paying the money, and doing the online traffic course in Illinois, you will get court supervision. Court supervision means that the public cannot see the ticket on your record. So it won't affect your insurance rates or cause points on your license. But the fact that you got a ticket and received court supervision still exists. Law enforcement can see that but the public cannot. It's confusing but i hope that helps.
@@driverdefenseteam Thanks sir for getting back to me. Which means even after doing Trafic school cops can still see when they look up my Tag. I was thinking it will be completely cleared. It’s confusing as u mentioned. Would u able to answer an other question On school zone the speed limit is 20 mph the sign says when children are present what that really means ? So u can go faster when childrens are not present? I get confused with that and I see people going fast when there is no kids present. Thanks again.
Hey I was going 112 in a 55 I have nothing on my drivers record and I’m scared I have a lawyer and he told me get atleast 60 hours of community service and drivers school done and I finished drivers school which was traffic school and I calculated everything up and by the time my next court date I will have 100 community service hours do you think I’ll go to jail also I’m in will county area
I'm not going to guess on the outcome of a case....especially since you have a lawyer. You did the right thing by hiring an attorney to help with a ticket like that. Just listen to your lawyer. I"m sure you're in good hands.
Go to the courthouse and ask to see the ticket. If it says "Dismissed" on the ticket, the clerk can probably fix it. If it doesn't, well you'll probably have to file a Motion to Vacate and go in front of the judge to make your argument. OR, hire a lawyer.
Hey so I recently received a speeding ticket for 74 in a 45 while I was at work for FedEx delivery, 29 mph over the limit. What do you think will be my punishment. I have a court date next month.
Asking what the outcome of your case will be is like the doctor why you’re sick before you’ve ever even seen the doctor. I have no clue what the outcome of your case will be. Where do you have court? What is your background like? Where did you get the ticket? What other tickets were issued? What was the interaction like with the police officer? All of these things are important. Contact a local lawyer and let them handle it. Especially because you drive for a living.
@@EustassKid16 I live in Illinois and the outcome was $460 and 3 month court supervision and if I do t get pulled over for speeding related it’s off my record. I had no lawyer and pleaded guilty
That's 32 mph over the limit. So it's a class B misdemeanor. Don't worry, I've seen far far far worse. My suggestion is to hire an attorney because unfortunately I see too many people represent themselves and wind up with a misdemeanor on their record.
What's pathetic is the flow of traffic on the tri-state and dan ryan is typically above the
aggravated speeding" threshold most days
I agree. It’s not uncommon for the flow of traffic to be 80+ mph in a 55 mph zone. The problem is...judges and prosecutors don’t want to hear that!
