What Should I do if I Received a Traffic Ticket in Minnesota?
Increased Patrol on Minnesota Roads
Anyone driving on the roads in Minnesota this year would have noticed an increased presence of law enforcement. According to the Minnesota State Patrol, motorists will continue to see a “significant” trooper presence on highways and freeways across Minnesota throughout the end of 2022. This is because the Minnesota State Patrol is extending its HEAT (Highway Enforcement for Aggressive Traffic).

How Can I Keep a Traffic Ticket Off My Driving Record
Fortunately, there are multiple ways to keep a traffic ticket off of your driving record in Minnesota—if you avoid a conviction. The key here is avoiding a conviction. The best possible outcome to avoid a conviction is a dismissal of the charge. While this is not an easy task, experienced criminal defense attorneys are often times able to convince the prosecutor that they should no longer prosecute the case. The next best outcome for a traffic offense in Minnesota is known as a continuance for dismissal, where the case is continued for a period of time, resulting in a dismissal of the charge, if the person stays out of trouble for that time period. Another option to keep the offense off your driving record is to agree to a non-driving related offense.
