We, as well. YMMV.

Individuals in that po'dunk town may have security cameras that could/would be invaluable to your situation.

Worked for us in Plymouth, Ohio about 4 years ago; we had to 'suggest' the attorney get them. She did.

Wish you well.

This is what I did when I received my ticket in Oct 2019 for "ignoring" a Road closed 1.5 miles ahead sign.. The "point" between the 1 and 5 was so small, I thought the sign said "15 miles ahead." Yep. a Small town Deputy in the farmlands of North Ohio was stopping and ticketing drivers. Obviously, they did not see the "point" either. There was even a road in that town where we could drive around the road closure, which was visible about .25 miles ahead, but the Officer wasn't letting us take it. I could see no signs forbidding trucks on that road either. Anywho, I drove to the same place a day later in my personal vehicle, took some pictures of the sign, the roads and construction where the Officerr was stopping people and then got a lawyer, who represented me in court and got it reduced to a non-moving violation. More expensive than just paying the fine, but it kept 2 points off my license. To me the extra $$ was worth it. Knock on wood.

"Funny thing", when I went to the same location later, the road closed ahead sign was modified with a very noticeable size increase in the 1.5 miles.

Call the Town clerk and see if there's any way to plea this down to a non-moving violation. Some of those Podunk backwater hillbilly towns will do such a thing to generate more revenue, keeping the ticket in-house by not reporting it, thus saving the bad mark on your license. The cost of this is usually a higher fine, however. Small price to pay to keep a clean license, though. It's well worth it.

Any attempt to overturn or reduce the penalty is going to be rolling the dice to some degree. Though I haven't had many, I have gotten out of every moving citation and by different methods and never hiring a lawyer. Last one was held at a small town court. A week prior I went to the court parking lot and asked officers for advice, I appeared for court, in a suit, with my type statement and 2 copies. 1 copy to the judge and one to the DA, and with my certified DMV record. I put the officer on the stand, yada yada yada, and I skated with dismissal. That was passing by crossing the double line and the officer was right behind me. Duh!

Another time I mailed in the fine by check but for $5 more than the fine. For a year they kept writing me with a $5 refund, stating they couldn't close the ticket until after I cashed the refund, which I never did and the ticket never appeared on my record. Excessive speeding while passing a State Trooper on a curve with double line. duh!

Some States, if the officer does not appear, the case is dismissed. Maryland and Wisconsin.

If the case load is heavy, the DA may offer to reduce the penalty during a recess.

If anyone asks, I made up those stories, point is there's no harm in trying.

I'm honestly curious Anne, how did you end up such a community hound? It's not something I'm used to anywhere, but especially not here. XD
