but it's not legal to lie to them. weird, huh?
radar detectors are legal in passenger cars in NY.
not sure about other offenses, but for speeding tockets it's ALWAYS a good idea to plead 'not guilty' and go to court. usually you won't need to go to trial, just play 'let's make a deal'.
if the cop shows up he'll usually offer to lower the violation in exchange for your guilty plea. dismissal is infrequent at this stage but you often can get it down to a no-pointer.
if cop doesn't show, buy a lotto ticket on the way home.
intimidation is a HUGE part of police work. they can lie as much as they want but if you do they can use it against you. it's best not to say anything.
going to trial is another option if you have plenty of time and are more organized than i'll ever be. of course there's the risk the judge (who knows the cop and works with him every week at least) will side with the cop even if you're not in the wrong.
plead 'not guilty' and talk to the cop. don't act like a d*ck and you'll probably get it lessened. at worst, it'll be as bad as the ticket.
