Los Angeles has one of the largest highway systems in the United States. In Los Angeles, whether traveling by car or going to and from school, they are common commuters, so the chance of encountering the police on the road is also higher than in other states and There are more people studying in cities.
Lawyer Zhou Zhengxuan said that when driving on the road, you should not only pay attention to traffic safety, but also do not panic if you encounter a traffic violation ticket. The most important thing is not to argue with the police, and there is no need to plead with the police, because the United States is a country that pays attention to In a country where law precedes reason and national conditions, as long as they strictly abide by the principle of answering every question, the vast majority of police officers will not embarrass citizens.
Another thing to note is that the American police not only do not accept humaneness, but if you are stopped by the police, while waiting, do not act rashly until the police come to the car. People are prohibited from getting out of their cars. On the one hand, the police are worried about the safety of people on the highway because of the high speed of the cars. Secondly, because guns can be legally owned in the United States. In the United States, police officers can legally own guns. For their own safety, if they see police officers unable to use them, they cannot use them. "I" am an "addict".
A student surnamed Chen from Taiwan, China, who has been studying in the United States since high school, said that he was stopped by the police on the highway for the first time in the United States. He wanted to get out of the car and explain to the police, but he refused to get out of the car. Well, when he got out of the car, the police suddenly pulled out a gun and pointed it at him, shouting not to move. He, who was not fluent in English, pointed his fingers to explain, and it took him a long time to be handcuffed by the police.
Lawyer Zhou said that if you get a traffic ticket, don’t be anxious. The first thing to pay attention to is the court date on the ticket. Signing it means that both parties agree that the court date is designated by the police. Many people often fail to wait for the court. notice, or forgot his court date and failed to appear in court on time (failure to appear, FTA), and his driver's license was revoked and his driving qualification was revoked by the court. If the circumstances are serious, it is not an exaggeration to say that his driving qualification was revoked by the court. FTA means the driver's license will be revoked and the driving qualification will be revoked. In serious cases, it will be contempt of court and constitute a criminal offense. The police have the right to arrest the parties involved.
Regardless of whether the driver thinks he is wronged or guilty, he should bring valid documents and go to court to explain the situation to the judge. The judge will often make judgments based on the descriptions of the parties and the police, and give lenient sentences as appropriate. Lucky people , if the police fails to appear in court for some reason, it is possible to obtain an acquittal and the violation record will be deleted directly.
Students at California State University, Los Angeles, shared that they were unfamiliar with traffic rules and failed to stop for three seconds when passing a stop sign, but were issued a $250 ticket. Fortunately, the police were not in court at the time and the ticket was not prosecuted in an ex parte case.
On this basis, the police conducted further investigation into the case and found that the "prostitution" behavior in the case was committed by "clients".
In addition, Lawyer Zhou also reminded citizens that traffic penalties in California are as fierce as tigers. If you are driving without a license or driving under the influence, it is not as simple as a fine. These are serious crimes. In addition to having to pay In addition to heavy fines, you may also be sent to jail. You must be careful when you go out and don't try to take advantage of the law, otherwise a small mistake will lead to a big disaster.
