Your information is correct and your timing is not so good. As of this week the NYC Police dept will no longer be issuing criminal tickets for this violation. They will be civil tickets instead. For all prior tickets returnable to criminal court they are mostly resolved with a very minimal fine. Most Judges do not offer ACD's There are however instances when the charges are outright dismissed. This occurs when the allegations do not constitute a prima facie case. I handle matters such as these on a daily basis. Your primary consideration however is economic. Privately retained attorneys such as myself are more costly than the usually imposed fines. You may call my office @ 718-834-0087 for a free phone consultation.
