I dont forcibly have to agree to appear - that is my prerogative and I will face the legal consequences if thats the course of action (decidedly stupid) I decide to take.
My point is - you can not be forced to sign anything
and I will for the umpteenth time ask why ticket cams are exempt from this signatory promise to appear?
I don't defend ticket cams. A traffic ticket is actually an arrest. You can flap your gums all you want, but that is the fact of life. What happens then is entirely up to you. I suspect you would wind up in jail waiting for somebody to bail you out.
I, on the other hand, would smile, sign the ticket and drive home for dinner.
