Red light ticket-NC

[niram]

I was ticketed for running a red light in May in NC. I have never had a ticket before in my life (and I believe that the light was still yellow-but that is beside the point) and I was wondering if it would be better for me to plead not-guilty or to ask for a prayer for judgement.

Is it true that I have to plead guilty to use the pfj? If I plead not-guilty and then want to use the pfj can I do that? How do I use the pfj? Do I speak to the DA or the ADA or the judge?

Thanks!

Probably better to take your PFJ. You can usually go in before your trial date and talk to the prosecutor. Ask the clerk if this is possible and for his hours.
