Contesting Traffic Ticket Guide

Summary

In New York, signing a traffic ticket is not an admission of guilt but a promise to appear in court. If you believe there was no probable cause for a traffic stop, you can contest the ticket by gathering evidence, pleading not guilty, and presenting your case in court. There is no specific law regarding a minimum distance for a legal stop; it depends on probable cause or reasonable suspicion. Consider seeking legal representation for guidance through the process.
