if you have good grades bring your report card and maybe a letter from a teacher saying how good you are, or if you're on an honor society or some volunteer group bring that up. Or if you're not make something up like you rescua kittens and nurse them back to health. And wear nice clothes so she thinks you are responsible and respectable. Just be really nice and tell her it wont happen again yada yad yada... maybe you'll get it reduced or thrown out

plead nonguilty. tell the judge that you had your seat belt on and that your brother wasnt. there should be no reason why you get a ticket. if you do end up getting charged make your brother realize hes gonna be paying the ticket

plead nonguilty, and the bitch probebly wont show up to your court date and you will get off free. i got a $500 ticket for passing a school bus and i pleaded non guilty and the cop didnt show up so i never had to pay anything

it is the responsibility of the driver to make sure that their passengers all have their seat belt on.

if you decided to take it to court, rather then paying for the ticket then you should have already had a pretty good idea of what you were going to say.

Alright i figured out what i was going to say, I am going to say that i was pulled over right when i just started driving and i thought that my brother had enough commen sence to put on his seatbelt becuase i tell everyone else that enters the car i drive to put on there seatbelt. Also i will make sure that this will never happen again and that he will always where his belt.
Now i just do not know wether to say guilty or non guilty

say that u are guilty
but explain that u didnt kno he didnt have his seat belt on
explain that is want ur fault
explain that u are a good kid
u can lie but if u get caught in the lie u are screwed...but half the time the cop wont even show so they just get rid of the ticktet

claim you are black and wear baggy cloths and the judge might think you are just retarded and let you off. if you really don't want to pay then say you are gay and you were only given a ticket because the cop was a homophobe. these days no one can convict a gay for anything.

Court for a seatbelt violation? In montana I think thats like a 15 dollar fine or something. Dude just go in be like my bro was taking it off to look for something in the back or some shit. Get creative bro, its easy.

man... first make sure if this is even worth your time. If it is a $50 dollar ticket... arrange to pay for it. Don't worry about a lawyer. Done. You won't go to jail for not wearing a seatbelt... lol.

Most likely you won't have to say anything in court... if you plead guilty and get some sort of deal... that is one option. If you plead not guilty then you will have to go back to court on ANOTHER date and face a jury.
Chances are you are just going to the clerks office, where you will be free to ask any questions you like. I recommend not giving her any stories unless you are sure the one you will make is the best for your situation.

from experience, fighting menial things like that in court will get you nowhere. also, what state do you live in? in most states, you can't get pulled over just for someone not having their seatbelt on. in most states, its a summary offence, which means the cop can add it on if you were in an accident or speeding or blew a light or whatever, but they cant pull you over for that alone.

plead insanity, or that they got the wrong guy. And go in there like 2pac did, when he was on murder trail, and skip instead of walking and such
