did you get caught in fresno area? If not I dunno why they asked you to go to fresno court.. But I don't think you have to go to the court..just pay the fine by mail and that's it..

You might have a prior. They just want you to go for an arraignment.

hmm why are they not allowing you to pay the fine? were you speeding like 130mph? I think it's such a hassle to drive to fresno just to appear at the court..heh.. last time I just mailed my fine and my traffic school certificate and case closed.

Can you go to Fresno to pay or do you have to appear in court? It sucks if you need to show up numerous times. What speed did they hit you at?

If he laser-ed you and showed you a rec means he recorded it. Means the only way you can get off this is if he doesnt show up. You can play the equipment malfunction game, but most people wont be able to pull this off. you will have to hire a traffic attorney to pull the equipment maintenance / malfunction game. Even at that, the chances of you winning are slim unless you got real lucky. I am surpirsed he didnt pull you over for no right turn on red... but for speeding...
