Does it make sense to plead not guilty for a speeding ticket if the officer asked me to confirm the speed I was going at?
I was driving in New York state and was over the speed limit. I am an out of state driver. the office said they won't write my speed on the ticket,. I believe that was them being nice. Ticket says "speed not reasonable or prudent".
I believe the officer also had their camera on and they asked me why I was going at this speed and whether I was aware. I responded and acknowledged that I was aware.
In this scenario, would it make sense to hire a traffic attorney and plead not guilty? seems very contradictory and this is my first time getting pulled over. Don't want this somehow turning out worse than just pleading guilty.
