Nope. At least not without going the lawyer route which will cost more than the ticket.

That is pretty common if you have a clean record and the speed was not over the top. You pay court cost, king gets his cut, you dont get the ding on your record and just stay away from other tickets in the next 12 months and you are all good. They dont want to go to court any more than you do.

Like 25 plus over or driving under suspension or an expired license. It's Iowa's way of getting a pound of flesh without really getting a pound of flesh. As in YOU WILL BE HERE kind of thing. The judge wants to talk to you and not your lawyer. kwg |

Why. Don’t you call the court clerk and ask your options letting them know you are out of state and gas costs driving 10 hours would be cruel and unusual punishment. Ask what your options are. I doubt they would extradite you from another state over traffic but they may have some alternative.

Ask what your options are. I doubt they would extradite you from another state over traffic but they may have some alternative. I did call today (Friday, July 1). Options were to pay it online or appear in person. Apparently they don't do Zoom or telephone hearings like courts in Minnesota do. Since I really wasn't looking forward to driving 5 hours there and 5 hours back (to be there July 5th at 9:00 AM) to try and *maybe* get 20 bucks knocked off. I just went online and paid it. So that's that. P.S. I really hope Floyd of Rosedale stays in Minnesota this year.

I was really surprised when I moved here how many cops there are in Iowa out running traffic. I never saw that in Illinois.
I had one pull up along side me recently on a four lane section of highway 30 and motion to me that 72 in a 65 was too fast.
