I bet MP folks would be even less likely to show up than small town cops, since the hearing would be scheduled well after Summer is over and (correct me if I'm wrong) most MP are part-time. The trick is to wait until the last possible moment to send the plea in and then wait until the last possible moment to request a new trial date. It would be foolish to plead guilty or nolo and pay a boat speeding fine, unless you lived really far away.
Thanks for the information. Its good to know we have a forum member with so much experience in breaking the law and beating the system!
