right. not calling your parents on anything or saying they've ever done what was stated above, just that cops are people too. also, that the cop was just doing his job. sometimes i tend to ramble on, trying to make too many points in a single post. sorry.
anyway, it's true that you can talk to the prosecutor beforehand and work out a deal, then once your case is called the deal will be put before the judge. should he agree (most likely) then he gavels the case and you go off to pay the fine. most of the time it's in your best interest to have the cash when you go to court (knowing this time that it'll be around $500, i'd take the 5 bills with me), if it's a sizeable amount, the judge usually has a heart and allows time payments.
