need everyones opinion please.....

i know i have asked some of you members for you opinion but im hoping i can get somebody that would know the outcome of this mess since its court related.....heres my story....

this past sunday me and my hubby rented a jonboat. 15HP ENGINE, keep this in mind, they dont go that fukn fast! but i was very badly sunburnt, hell it was 97% out on the river and i sat on the very front of the boat with my legs in the water, duh im sunburnt and needed aqua! well this game warden comes outta nowhere and about runs into us, we were like wtf? and we were not going fast at all, its a damn jonboat already! but he wrote us a ticket for $180 for wreckless operation, WTF!? we had no idea, therefore we wouldnt of done this if we did! but his main concern was some kid and his mother did the same thing last year, kid fell off into the water and got his head split in 2, ok for one, im an adult and trust me i was hanging on whether we were going 5mph or not and 2 i bet that wasnt a jonboat the kid fell off of! but anyways the warden was first going to give us a warning then all of a sudden changed his mind and wrote that fat ass ticket.....now im debating on whether or not to go to court over this if its even worth both me and my hubby to take the day off work and to drive an hour just for the court, and neither one of us would get paid for that day off, im outta hrs and he does construction so nogo for getting paid for that and would equal up to the gas and time off with that ticket.....anyways i just dont see how this fuker could just gave us a warning, we told him this was our very first time renting a boat and being on the river and still just didnt get a warning....so $300 bucks for a damn sunburn! im just sooooo pissed off, i seen fukers on the lake doing the same thing i did but on a ski boat and a pontoon plus every1 was drinking and driving! i just dont get it, so im not having a happy 4th, i cant smoke and have this huge damn ticket due by august 21st.....if i knew it would get dismissed if i went to court its tempting but almost not worth the time ya know? but every1's opinion on this would be great appreciated, i just see i got fuked cause dude wanted to get a ticket quota since it was july 4th weekend......

totally diff. situation than mine but that sux for ya....hell we didnt know i couldnt sit on the front with my legs in the water while moving slowly, hell we saw every1 else doing it so wtf?

lol im tellin ya! hate it hate it hate it.....i just need to walk around with a sign on my back and have a jar of vaseline in my hand, plus i havent smoked for almost a fukn month! im being put to a test here and its not looking too good....

in my experience here in Jersey I wud say to go to court early and speak to the prosecutor,,,they usually at least knock it down to a lessor charge...

Explain yur story and wear a short skirt...LOLz...

i jus dunno if both of us taken off that day without pay plus the hour drive in gas would be worth it ya know? ive never had luck in court anyways....

A dick cop gave me a loud music ticket in my own home... He mailed it to me,punk... anyways,,, I see wut yur saying cause it was not worth it for me and I just paid it online...

Maybe you can call the court Clerk and have the hearing pushed to night court???
