i don't want to post it because I want to retain my privacy on here, since most schools only have about 300 students in the 1st year program. But even if I posted it, there is still the variable of how many % grads are reporting it, so that wouldn't really solve much. I just hope my school is honest with the way they are reporting it.

I thought you have already admitted to where you were going.

Somewhere in FL is all i remember.

But I'm pretty sure you have already posted it in a thread long before you even started law school.

Unless you go to Pheonix online, you go to school in the Dallas FtWorth area, I bet a wooden nickel, I could guess what school due to locality.

Well it's 75 bucks. You have the attitude that most do. Its only 75 bucks, ill just pay it and get over it. What you dont realize is that it can raise your insurance over the next 3 years and end up costing you more then 300 in the long run. Especially in my age group, my insurance is high enough already. I have 3 tickets on my record, all of which will be gone in February, as it was 3 years ago now. But I don't want this on to be on there at all.

Then don't do shit that is illegal then, what did you get caught for?

So it is not worth actually paying for legal advice over but you will seek legal advice nonetheless. I know the answer but I will not tell you because it is taking food out of the mouth of some poor lawyer.

I personally think he should pay a lawyer a couple grand instead of a $75 ticket.

It's the only logical solution to the matter at hand.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

The Sixth Amendment speedy trial guarantee has been before the Supreme Court a number of times. The Court has spoken eloquently about its importance as a fundamental right and in Klopfer v. North Carolina (1967) incorporated it into the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause. Despite the applicability of the speedy trial doctrine to notoriously overcrowded state courts, the Court has rarely found the right to have been violated. For instance, in Barker v. Wingo (1972), it held that despite a five‐year delay between indictment and trial, there was no violation of the right. Observing that circumstances vary in each case, the Court rejected a hard and fast time‐limit rule in favor of a balancing test that considers length of delay, reason for delay, prejudice to the defendant, and the defendant's timely assertion of rights. However, when balancing these factors, the Court almost invariably has ruled in favor of the prosecution.
