I live in south Florida where we get to play "the good-ole-boy" game...you get a ticket...you give it to an attorney...you pay the attorney about $75...he goes to court and gets the ticket dismissed...you pay the court costs...depending on the ticket abouot $125 to $200 for speeding, stop signs, turns and the like...dunno if they'd be so lenient with DUI/DWI...anyway, no muss, no fuss, no points, no raised insurance rates...everyone makes out...the courts/system makes their money, the attornies make their money (don't forget that judges usta be attornies )...everyone makes out...you're out a few c-notes but wotthehell, no muss, no fuss...
