Exclamation Unsolicited insight on tix in Buffalo NY and I-290

They look for Canadian plates on I-290 because you are likely to pay the ticket, not because you are the fastest one they see - so watch out. But if you don't you will be stopped. The guy is there every day. Don't be distracted by the Cellino and Barnes billboards - they don't want your case anyway. If you get a ticket there, I was told to challenge it in court and the DA will make a plea bargain every time. He offers a parking charge instead - really, before going in. I was told this when I mentioned to a local that my wife had I ticket and I paid it. "That was not a good idea - you just get in line and talk to the DA." I thought DAs deal with murder and drug cases, based on watching TV. See what I learned. In Buffalo they negotiate with American speeders.
