She is basically admitting to going 30+ mph over the speed limit

Argue with the cop and get belligerent. That’s the best bet for a good outcome.

Maybe… smaller towns and cities are less likely to have an online form

Sep 8, 12:50pm

Every court is different… call the court clerk and ask for information

Just pay it and move on.

That is a giant waste of time. PLEA IN ABEYANCE can typically be agreed to

Probably. Have her discuss a plea in abeyance with the prosecutor at the first

This totally depends on the prosecutor. There's a real emphasis on punishing

She should hire a lawyer when jail time is on the line

Sep 8, 2:08pm

No jail time is possible for an Infraction

For a Class B misdemeanor in UT? I thought up to $1K / 6mo
