Help! The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is RAPING MY ANUS

[theholycow]

I live in RI and work in MA. MA has decided to rape me.

1. In 2008, I got a speeding ticket from a small town cop in MA.

2. The next day I talked to someone who said it would go away (yes, this sounds shady; at the time it seemed much less shady than I can describe here). I had to give the ticket to them.

3. I never heard anything. Nothing ever showed up on my record. I never received anything in the mail.

4.Today I was driving along, obeying all traffic laws, when I was pulled over.

5. I was told that my license is suspended in MA and they could arrest me, but he said he was being lenient to allow me to have my car towed out of the state.

6. I paid $170 to be towed less than 5 miles.

7. I have a citation and I'm told I'll have to wait months for them to send me a court date for an unknown date in the future.

8. I will be arrested and put in jail if I drive in MA again. I cannot go to work.

What the fuck can I do? If I had known the ticket was still valid I'd have paid it on time. If I had gotten some kind of idea that there was an unpaid ticket on my record I'd have paid it. Now what the fuck can I do?

Lawyering up would be your best way to go
Like Eddie said, try to get a temp status to go to and from work so you dont lose your job, they should allow you that atleast until it is figured out.

Like I said on gmfs, HOW THE FUCK do they have legal basis to say your RHODE ISLAND drivers license is invalid in MASSACHUSETTS?!!!!!!!

When in Rome, get raped as the Romans rape. They can do what they want, it's their state. I also pay all of my state income taxes to them because that's where I work.

What an FTA warrant?

I'm sure it would have made things worse in the end but it would have been BAMF to run instead of pulling over. The VW gets up to 130mph pretty quick and it was only a few miles to the state line.

When the cop came up to my window he kept saying my name and address asking if I was him. I thought it was going to be some kind of joke that someone setup.

Are you Rick Caoington? 6969 Car Maze Dr.? N2BIG1S?

[theholycow]

Damn you, you've found me!

So it looks like the going rate for a lawyer to do traffic defense in MA is $1500. Looks like I'll be bending over and accepting some government rape after all.

DNW $1500

bastids

Potentially good news: I talked to a lawyer who looked it up in the MA computer system and said they sent notice to an old address where I haven't lived since 2002 or so. It is NOT the address that was on my license in 2008.

What a bunch of ratards

Update:
I went to the RMV to see a hearing officer. She was unable to actually do anything for me, but at least had some direction to offer...and some information I forgot.

Here's what I forgot: When I tried to get the ticket dismissed by the police chief, it was too late; but they said if I dispute it they would show up in court and ask for it to be dismissed. So, I signed the part saying I'd like a court date and waited.

My court date never arrived in the mail because, as I mentioned earlier, they sent it to an entirely wrong address.

Tomorrow morning I'll go to two courts and one or two RMVs. I expect to get two court dates and a temporary reinstatement of my license until one of those court dates.

[stonehenge]

Again, wtf is RMV?

Edit: cao has essplain in tct :hoofbump:
