Hi,
I got stopped today by a cop (definitely trying to meet her quota) in the NYC subway. She gave me this whole thing about knife outside clothing, but in fact a Swiss Army Knife that was barely sticking out of my pocket. I was friendly and polite (as we all should be trying to get off from a cop) but she was hearing none of it. She even had to look up in her little ticket book what the violation number was.
The red SA knife was barely sticking out of my pocket ( I had my shirt tucked in) and she even said that the case would be dismissed. I have a court date in 2 months. I was wondering if you had any advice on what to do? Should I plead guilty or not guilty? I mean how can I argue to get it dismissed? I think she was just being insanely ridiculous for something so trivial. I know she was doing her job and all but not even a warning?
Thanks
