I was in Charleston, SC for St. Patricks day. On my way out of the city there was a schoolbus. It stopped, so did I (I was behind a few other cars). It starts to move again, but leaves its flashing lights on, and drives for about another block and a half. Everyone is passing the bus, so I figured I could also, so I did pass it. I was right behind a guy in an SUV. When we passed the bus it was slowing down, but it did not have its stop sign out.
So I'm at the next red light and an undercover officer turns his lights on behind me, so I pull over, so does the guy in the SUV in front of me.The cop gets out (not in uniform) looks at the guy in the SUV (that has SC tags), looks at me in my tiny red car (thats has GA tags), tells him he can go and tells me to pull over farther, he takes me lic., reg., and ins., info from me. Then here comes an officer in a marked police car (hes in uniform) the undercover hands him my information, and then leaves. So the one in uniform wrote me the ticket. This seems highly unfair to me. Maybe they thought that since I live 3 hours away I wouldn't try to fight the ticket, but the ticket is for $1062.00. I just don't understand how I ended up with the ticket. What would be the best way to fight this ticket without sounding like I'm whining? I'm trying to get all my debt paid off and start college in the fall and this will most def. put me off track.
