In response to Ron Snyder and Carol Phillips’ email about the Sheriff’s budget. It’s obvious neither of you fully understand the way budgets work. I have stated many times that I will fill the current vacancies. If the position is vacant ( currently it’s more than 50) that position isContinue Reading
I ask this question about the rumors of Sheriff Mike Roberson, why hasn’t he came out to deny the rumor? Steve Maynor has been telling folks he will be the next Sheriff ” soon”. If it wasn’t true, commit to the community and give his word that he isn’t goingContinue Reading
I have noticed the signs for Marcus Globuschultz around town and this morning I see that he sponsored today’s chat list. I also noticed that he is apparently running as a “conservative” from the Chatlist post by the Chatham County R party stating that he was going to be answeringContinue Reading
For several days now, I have been considering commenting on the gun show being held at the agricultural center and more recently, Gene’s poll on whether or not such events should be allowed. I am glad that I held off in responding because as providence would have it, earlier todayContinue Reading
Take our online poll on gun shows at the Chatham Ag Center HERE. (voting ends on July 4 at 10 pm EDT) A Chatham Chatlist member asked the following question last week – Guess I shouldn’t be shooting off my mouth about this, but was just wondering how proud ChathamContinue Reading
A few years back while the blue light bandit was stopping innocent drivers, a friend of mine was coming off Hwy 64 at Hwy 87 and braked at the stop signs there, saw no cars coming in the dark, and turned right. A patrol car hiding in the dark withContinue Reading
Noting several posts about speeding tickets and various ways to resolve them. I can’t offer advice but would suggest caution… what works for one person may not work for someone else. Said another way, two people may be able to get the same result in court, but the *effect* onContinue Reading
I have received two prayer for judgements – one in Wake County for turning left (from one one way street to another) on a red light , one, several years later, in Chatham for speeding. I appeared in court and asked the judge for the prayer for judgement without copiesContinue Reading
Traffic Ticket! It slays me how much erroneous and half informed info folks are sending out! “A prayer for judgement’ is saved for when someone REALLY screws up; the state only gives one of these per household once in blue moon. “Improper Equipment” gets used for speeding and maybe whatContinue Reading
I just wanted to chime in on this experience, as I don’t’ know if it is an available option in this area. I had a speeding ticket in a different county years ago and I was given a court date, etc., and the requisite mailbox stuffing of attorney offerings. IContinue Reading
If you, like me, have no history of tickets, here’s how to pay ZERO & not use an atty:– the clerk’s office can give you a website that will give your entire driving history for $11. They told me this when I went to get my court date moved. IContinue Reading
If this is your first traffic ticket in three years, you can ask for a Prayer for Judgement. You don’t need a lawyer. Prayer for Judgements are like traffic court probation: fee and point free, but if you get another ticket within three years, you’ll have to face charges/fees/points forContinue Reading
I received so many great responses for my traffic ticket problem from chatlist members. Thought I’d share some of Them. In general most of the men said to go to court myself and enter a Prayer for Judgement and save money. Most of the women recommended lawyers. itraffic.law- online serviceSparrowContinue Reading
How many miles over the limit were you that it involves a court date? Oops. Anyhow here’s my experience. My ticket was in Chatham but process will be same. I went ahead and contacted and hired a Pittsboro attorney, only to find out my mailbox was full of offers fromContinue Reading
