I live & work on my schools campus. It is like a 5 min drive between the two. I left work and had to take a left to get to my parking lot. There were noooooo cars coming and I slowed to a crawl. I took my left and a cop car came out a parking lot and put his lights on. Basically I got a ticket for not coming to a complete stop for 3 secs (Alabama law). It's a $75 ticket and that seems kind of extreme. I signed my ticket and have 7 days to pay before more fees are added on. Apparently I can go to court to get a refund but it will essentially be my word versus the cop and I'm not sure if I have to pay the court costs or if the university does? Is it worth fighting or should I go ahead and take the L?
And before anyone says anything, I drove from class to work to my apartment.
Left work & got a $75 ticket for not coming to complete 3-sec stop
I stopped for 1-sec and no cars were coming
I have to pay the ticket but can defend later for a refund
Not sure if I have to pay court costs or if the university does
