Hello. Im from Mexico. Recently, in oct 10th. I went to Las Vegas.. and got a ticket for Reckless Driving. I spent the night in jail. I got a court date on Jan 11th. The officer didnt read me my rights so I didnt know I had to get a lawyer. Ive got witnesses that I wasnt acting Recklessly. I was just going 10 miles over the speeding limit.. What advice would you recommend??

You can't use "I wasn't read my rights" as an excuse. People don't get arrested for speeding unless there is "something else" you're not telling us

Do your time, pay your fine and go forth and sin no more.


Have a magical day

Driving 10 mph over the limit sounds pretty reckless to me...

Come on..
Everywhere I would have had an speeding ticket..
dont say that in Mexico wouldve been different.
Im from mexico. I was just vacationing..
But the point here. is that I am asking if somebody knows what happens next..
could I get jail time for this?
My record is clean.
I just read that somebody got his fine reduced to $250
the lawyer thing.. I dont have one yet..
I dont know how to get one in the US.. Ive seen in the movies that the court can offer you a lawyer if you dont have one.. something like that.. how does that work..

Just go to court and deal with whatever happens. That's the best advice I can give you

Good luck
