标 题: 请教：吃了traffic ticket但没受到court的notice letter
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Sun Feb 24 01:05:42 2013, 美东)
三个月前的ticket，当时警察说2-3个星期会受到信，不然就电话给county court。后
来打电话给court,他们都没有我的信息，叫我等到这个月底再打。。。我怀疑是警察局
忘了（遗漏）把我的信息给到court，所以他们至今不知道我这个case。我是不是不去
管，就会没事了？还是一定要追问court直到受到notice letter为止？
//THX! |

我感觉我有好几年没有正式写过这种文章再加上每天讲中文实在少，文笔不通还望见谅

一个感恩节的party。前方红灯，于是我停在快车道的最前面 in full stop。等着红灯
和学弟聊着天，突然就感觉车身一震然后整个被push forward with a big crunching

一个多月前在停车场碰了别人车，留了条走人，后来收到警察ticket，打电话去not
guilty，安排在今天晚上先跟检察官会谈，然后出庭
开了70多迈快两个小时到了法庭，检察官门口排着长队，有意思的是第一个排队的居然
是打电话给警察举报我的目击者，于是我从最后一个排队先进了检察官办公室
里面乱七八糟5-6个人，有另外一个case的当事人和律师，那些律师跟检察官都老熟人
一样
高潮来了，检察官说：你留了条，保险处理，等等等等，我都知道，但是你要报警，不
报警就吃了这个，最严重驾照吊销，罚款多少，甚至坐牢如何如何，然后说这样吧，我
把这个case downgrade成fail to report，没扣点没别的，你交个fine认罪好了
我当时还没转过脑子来，本来想着对方是不是在纠缠我留条与否和条... 阅读全帖 |
