I received only Unlawful speed on the ticket. Nothing else is written or ticked.

Plus, I do not carry a Gun or anything.

Just call a lawyer, they're always happy to take care of this for a small fee.

I'm soooo scared. What's going to happen now? Am i going to JAIL????

Read the instructions on the ticket. Pay the fine, then your court date is cancelled. You might be able to pay by credit card through a 1-800 number or over the internet.

Sometimes you will get a ticket and you won't have a chance to say anything, but it's always a good idea to be polite considering this guy standing outside your car has a gun.

Funny that, seeing as you seem to fancy yourself as one.

Nearly bought a place at Silver River. Our daughter used to go to the D.A.R.E kids thing on Maricamp every month and took the dogs to the Millenium Dog Park out there every so often.

You were living in the wrong side of town. Right now, here in Shores. Awsome people, great places and very CLEAN! You should come back here and get a place. THere are many homes ready here and cheap! Because it's in the WOODS so nobody will even bother you.
