about a month ago I got a ticket for 44 in a 30 at 5:30 in the morning. It's a 4 lane industrial park road, most is 40 but a small section is 30, I think because of a curve with park building driveways attached. At 5:30 it's desolate. During the day the 30 might be appropriate with cars going in and out. I thought I was going to get a warning but got a $145 ticket. That I don't care so much about. Insurance possibly going up and if I ever get stopped "legitimately" for speeding, it's a guarantee for a ticket, though I think most are these days as the revenue is good money I'm sure.

Anyway, sent in the ticket for a court date but thanks to covid it's a zoom meeting.

It's been at least 10 years since my last ticket. Last one was in Indiana where I had to pay for a lawyer.

Is there someone I can ask to see at the courthouse before the 11th to plead down the ticket to a nonmoving violation but pay the $145? Who is this person? Do they still do this?

My only defense on zoom is it was 5:30 in the morning and the short 30 leads to the 40.

There must have been something in a newsletter each town gets as I saw two more cops this morning, one at 4:45 and another at 5:30 in different locations. People are just going to work. WTF.
