State Highway 48 near In Town Crossing

Tupelo, OklahomaMar 17, 20070 Comments

I ran into a roadblock at 12 midnight you know the kind were they ask for your drivers license and insurance. That night it was very dark no moon out and I had my hi-beams on. As I came into sight of the roadblock at first I thought it was a bad accident because of all the flashing lights. I left my hi-beams because of the dark street, and little lighting offered by street lamps and felt it was safer doing this. Well as I pulled in the cop asked if I always drove with my hi-beams on, I said of course not but saw the lights and was worried. Well he took my drivers license and insurance and asked me to pull to the side. I did and in about 10 minutes he comes over and issues me a citation for �failure to dim headlights� at a cost of $99.00. He also tells me I can come to court there in Tupelo in April at 5:00pm. Now I am not sure but 5:00pm sounds a little out of the ordinary for a court time. The ticket had no phone number and only an address so after about 15 minutes on Google I found a phone number for the town hall, with the same address as the alleged court house listed on the ticket. Called the number got an answering machine that said hours of operation M-F 8:00am-5:00pm. I have contacted a lawyer and I plan to fight.
