I have court tomarrow for a traffic violation. This is what happened a officer pulled me because I was putting my seatbelt on while exiting a 7-Eleven parking lot. The officer stated he was going to write me a warning tickete but after calling in my tag # I had a old lapse of insurance from a year ago. The lapse lasted for 2 - 3 months but I did get insurance reinstated. However in Maryland if you let your insurance lapse there is a fine. By the time I found out about the fine it had grown to $600. When the officer said I had the lapse he also said my tags had been marked in the system so he had to take them off the car and impound it. So I had to pay the $600 for new tags and the $250 impound fee that day to get my car back which I did. On top of the $850 I have paid I also have a tickete for $280 is there anything I could do to get the ticket dropped or fine reduced? Please help I can't afford to give MD state all my money.
