Speeding

How can I find out how much my speeding ticket will cost? And is there other options besides paying it?

I just got a speeding ticket in MN for what the cop says was 71 in a 55. We were going opposite directions so I don’t know how accurate that is. Is there a way to find out how much the ticket will be. Also, would going to court help reduce the fine or give me other options? What if I can’t pay for it? Will I have a warrant just for having in sufficient funds or are there other options such as community service or jail time that I could just serve so I don’t have to wait for a warrant then deal with it? Also, if I go to court do I need to worry about a lawyer? TY for the help.

You need to go to the place that has the jurisdiction over your ticket- city court if it happened in the city limits, courthouse if it happened on a county road. when you get there, ask someone who you need to talk to about the ticket- Probably one of the assistant D.A.’s. You will then have to talk to his secretary. Tell her you would like to have the ticket reduced to an non- moving violation- she can help you if she will- Here’s a little secret- if you know anyone important . they can get the ticket fixed -you pay nothing- but if you are a common person such as I, you will have to pay it or at least a reduced portion of it. The rich do no pay traffic tickets.
