it really depends what type of infraction you commited. i too didnt think i needed a lawyer, but was told that i might face incarceration, so better to have a lawyer with you

So how do you fight a fine, if you sign that you agree.

Not to the charge just that the information on the form is correct, ie, you cannot say it wasn't you driving.
The Cop even says "Signing this is not an admission of guilt"

So why does one need to sign.

25mph over

In Virginia anything over 85 is considered reckless driving, if they really want they can throw you in jail for going 86 in a 65...

Incarceration for 25 over? Whoa!

What's scary is in school zones where the limit is 25, if you're going 65 you get a ticket for 40mph over...

I have not read through the whole thread but skimmed...

NJ Points do not transfer to your license, however you must understand what that means.

1. No points will be assessed to your NYS license so you will not have to pay NY any fees or will not count towards a suspension.

2. If NJ has a driver assessment fee you will be liable and if the points are sufficient your driving privileges in NJ can be suspended.

3. Although your license will have no points your infraction, if convicted, can be detected by the insurance companies and will affect your rates.

As far as lawyers in NJ go there are a few angles. Some small town courts want to negotiate before you enter the courtroom, depending on your offense. Additionally some of these towns who have smalltown lawyers that are familiar with the system and will get you the best outcome.

In Monsey, many School zones are 15mph

I went in to "fight" it, they had a whole assembly line going, they schedule all of that cops tickets for the same day

same here, but in ny. was terrible. no one got off easy at all. some got worse than me, a 30 day suspension. i think they also schedule similar violations in the same day or else this cop works like a machine catching everyone going over 31, but only clocking them at less than 31, and while doing a small violation at the same time. i got 10 points

and btw in my younger years i would do 110 on the 101 nightly - glad i grew out of that one. i have really good luck when it comes to these things. even when i did get pulled over there nissei nissim involved

Even if it's accurate, it takes time from when it detects until you slow down below the speed limit. If you get clocked in the meantime it could mean a ticket.

it didnt detect it. the guy was using some sort of spaceage technology. it wasnt a regular cop car either
if it would have been detectable, i would have known at least a mile before with plenty of time to slow down

You are right, btw. It is space age technology. The space age was 1960, and that's when the tech is from. It's called laser. It doesn't have to be turned on before hand, and takes a fraction of a second to flip on and record the speed. It's becoming a lot more common on interstate highways.
