Hawaii is weird and they do not make it mandatory for the officer to show up unless you request it and you have to pay fees to serve the notice. You can actually plead not guilty and state why. The judge will review your thought and make a decision. I just wanted to know if it was legal to hide 40 feet on the onramp, behind an overpass and legally be able to pull over drivers for speeding. They might as well start pulling people over using helicopters and send the ticket by mail. They actually did away with the van and hidden camera because too many people were being pulled over for speeding. I have no problem accepting blame as long as the Officer did his job correctly and not ticketed me because they uphold the law. Lawyer would not be worth the money and I may go to court ahead of time to see what the process is like here.
