I got a ticket for "Failure to stop at pedestrian crosswalk" in Perth Amboy, NJ.. This is what happened:
It was around 8.45 PM at night and a road at a speed limit of 25. I was driving my Camry under the speed limit. Now at a pedestrian crosswalk, I saw a couple of cops cross by, and I did slow down further and was going through. The suddenly thing girl runs and crosses the road and I do apply my brakes and stop well before the crosswalk and without even any screeching. The girl coolly went by. Then the cop (who is on foot) asks me to park and then gives me a ticket stating "I wasn't paying attention and slammed my brakes". If I did not pay attention, I would have hit the cops as well and the girl. And the ticket says "failure to stop at pedestrian crossing", and if I did not stop how did he pull me over on foot at that very crossing even without me crossing it?? I am planning to contest this in court. Do I have any chance of winning?
I have made a document explaining this scenario and plan to take it court. Do I have a chance. I am not at all convinced that I am guilty! Really pissed about the whole thing!
