cop troubles, help Options

[Pali_playa]

ok well i just got back from florida for my vacation.

on the way there my friend in the back asked me to throw away a can, i was in the passenger seat. i thew it away (outside). bout 1/2 an hour later we see an undercover cop on the side...it came out after us. then we see an SUV k9 unit and 2 other cop cars. they pulled us over, told the driver to get out of the car. then a cop came up to me asked me where the alcohol was....i said there was none. then he asked me y i threw a can out the window. i said i didnt, he said he has a witness that called out tags in about littering... i told them i didnt do it. so basically he gave the driver a ticket for 85 in 70 and me a littering ticket. but the son of a biatch cop said i cant prepay and i gotta go back to georgia on Aug 17. im gonna be outta the country then.

so im gonna call them and ask if i can prepay, cause im not goin back down to gorgia.

any suggestions?

You need to talk to the prosecutor. Look at your ticket and see what county it is. Then google the county to get the information. Ask for the district attorney's office (some states they are called prosecutors, some state's attorneys). Then, when you call there, ask for the prosecutor in charge of misdeamenors. Tell the guy you are from out of state and would like to resolve it without going to Georgia. Ask them what the fine would be? The should allow you to plead guilty by mail. Good luck.

P.S. Don't litter anymore.
