Could not disagree more. "A man who defends himself has a fool for a lawyer"
It's a moving violation, not a murder trial. No lawyering up, no need to study case law and find precedents.
1. Go to court
2. Plead guilty with explanation
3. Give BS explanation (I've never been in that area before and didn't see the sign)
4. Probation before judgement (As long as your record is clean)
