I waited at a stop light for a couple minutes, decided to slowly drive across. cop stops me. need legal advice

Ok. heres my story/question. a month ago i was pulled over for a red light. i told the cop that i waited for a couple minutes or so. i was drinking that night and blew a .079 but i passed all the field tests with flying colors. I need information on anything that could ease the pain of the ticket or any legal terms i could throw at the judge. or a website where i can research cases would be awesome. my case is on the 29th commin up.


Oh.. the cop also put ';Mild Traffic.'; There were no cars but him. And they searched my trunk after i was picked up by a relative.I waited at a stop light for a couple minutes, decided to slowly drive across. cop stops me. need legal advice
Get a lawyer who specializes in DUI -- it's not worth it to wing it.I waited at a stop light for a couple minutes, decided to slowly drive across. cop stops me. need legal advice
Count your lucky stars and chill. Don't be a horses backside and get cocky. You got a minor infraction, deal with it.
you were at fault for a moving violation
A red light means stop, until you receive the green light, then you may move off after checking to make sure that is is safe-to-do-so. Waiting for a couple minutes is inconsequential, you compromised a red light. In Western Australia you would have been arrested for Driving Under Influence, as the maximum reading you register is 0.5.





It doesn't matter what course of action you hope to tell the judge, the fact is and you have readily admitted it, is that you contravened a red light, and you were also under the influence of alcohol.





Plead Guilty, and then give your account of events, as in any case you can consider yourself disqualified from driving and your MDL (Motor Drivers Licence) Suspended for the required period.





The level of traffic at the time is irrelevant, again it comes back to fact that you contravened a red traffic light.
