Damn that sucks! I would fight it!

 

[aepadil]

i was thinking of calling to the court to see if i can get my money back

Not getting your money back. If you paid the ticket, you pled guilty to the charges.

What he said.. When you pay the fine it is an admission of guilt and the penalty is assessed as such. The courts do not issue refunds. A hard lesson to learn but in the future take it to court. As you can see it worked for your buddy.

I agree with the rest. Sorry to say it, but that money is gone. I had a situation like that when I was younger. I left my wallet at home, on accident of course, and went fishing with my brother. Well, as it turns out, we were checked by Game Officers, and he issued me a citation, after a long process of running our names, and abusing his power. He even told me, and I quote this, "If you try anything funny, I'll have to use this," with his hand on his pistol. Anyways, I said I would plead not guilty, and go to court, as I had my license, he tells me that it won't even be worth it, that if I don't have it on me, that it's the same as not having it, and it would be a waste to go in front of the judge. So, I say ok, and pay it, being young, naive, and believing him. Then it turns out that they never received the money, which was sent in money order form, and when I found this out, I no longer had the receipt (my fault). So I ended up listening, paying the fine twice, when I never should have. That situation really turned me on Game Wardens, I had always wanted to be one, but seeing these types turned me off on them.... I know there are some good ones out there though.

You need to call the magistrate that handled the case. Ask what plea was entered on your behalf when they accepted your fine money. If you pleaded a "no contest" or similar plea you can appeal the case or the Magistrate may revisit your case. If you plead guilty your probably SOL. Best advice though is to contact an attorney.

 

[jamaro]

how could you plead guilty to something you should have been cited for??

 

[aepadil]

going to call tomorrow for the hell of it see what they say

 

[Gator]

Good luck. I think you are SOL.
