I live in an emissions county in Georgia, and my car failed an emissions test in March when I was supposed to renew my tag. I paid for my tag and all of my taxes the day I was supposed to, but was not issued a new tag because of the emissions problem. After the failure I attempted multiple times to have my car repaired, but after its third time in the shop I was out of money.
On June 11 I was pulled over by a city officer because of the expired tag. I explained my situation, which I previously had to do when I was pulled over by a state patrolman and issued a warning. He was not interested in seeing any of my documentation, made me get out of the car, asked if I had ever been arrested (I haven't) and proceeded to interrogate me for 15 minutes about narcotics before issuing a citation.
On the citation he wrote June 15, although I was pulled over on June 12. I will actually have my renewed tag on June 14, before the date on the ticket. I was already planning to attend court to try to have the ticket dismissed because I was so actively trying to take care of the problem, offered all of my documentation showing this and had the tag renewed only 2 days after the citation. Is it likely that this ticket will be dismissed?
