Answer: To ask a judge to reduce a ticket, you should attend your court hearing punctually and present a polite and concise request, explaining any mitigating circumstances or evidence. It's also beneficial to demonstrate a clean driving record and express willingness to attend a traffic school if necessary.
The only way to get your traffic ticket dismissed in Florida is by contesting the charges in court. Here, you'll be challenging the officer's allegations by presenting evidence that shows otherwise or finding loopholes in their argument, ideally with legal help from an attorney.
If there is a prosecutor in traffic court, that's the person who'll be negotiating with. Otherwise, any plea bargaining that might be possible, would be accomplished by talking to the officer who cited you for the violation or the judge in open court.
Most citations are filed by the law enforcement officer within 5 days from the date the citation was issued.
