I don’t want to look a gift horse in the mouth here?
By admin on Feb. 23, 2010.
I was in traffic court recently (on a trumped up charge) and the judge said to me,"You’re driving record appears clean". Now I know that’s not true because I had a ticket for running a red (that turned red mind you) 5 months prior and a speeding ticket 3 years before that. How could they not know?
Not all cities turn thier traffic offenses into the national or state data bases. don’t know why but they dont’.
And often while it would show up, a ticket over 3 years ago is not normally taken into consideratioini.
And then on the 5 month old ticket, often it can take months for some departments to show thier convictions onto the state system.
so it is possible, he did not worry about a 3 year old ticket and the other one is not in the system yet.
with court backlogs, I have seen it take 5 months to a year for some courts to enter the information into the state system.
