Scheduled an appointment to talk to a hearing officer, but the earliest they had was in October, in Edina. So I'm going to try to do a walk-in as well on Tuesday, have to take time off from work because the wait is really long for walk-ins. Thanks for the advice guys.

Yea i have gotten a speeding ticket in mn and just met with the hearing officer and they gave me the no tickets year deal. Then like 3 years later for a parking ticket and they did the same thing. That ticket was super late too paid it like 8 months after i got it. (was home on leave) But they will work with you!

Heres a breif history of my red car to ticket ratio. (yes i like to speed, but regardless)

I will start with my White Ford Tore Ass - Never been pulled over, never had any issues prior with any of my cars.
Picked up a 1999 Red Eclipse GSX - First summer after purchase... 22 tickets. Moved to california shortly after. Recieved 3 tickets and pulled over numerous times in california prior to getting rid of it.
1995 White DSM - 0 tickets and 1 time pulled over in the whole 1.5 years of owning it.
1995 Red GSX - First .5 year of owning it, recieved 2 tickets, and pulled over approx 4 times, painted car flat black with spray cans, never pulled over again.
2002 ford explorer - Currently owned for 2.5 years, never been pulled over.
see a pattern here? I will never own another red car again.

heh, cops say they don't profile, but its just science that your more likely to notice brighter painted cars, basically red and yellow, and orange ones. They profile imports alot too, I've been ticketed cruising down 94 in the center lane going with the flow in my old talon. I have past many troopers in my blazer at 10-15mph over and they don't even look over. I drive the wifes mustang like I stole it, and only been pulled over once in that for going 80 on 35w and no ticket...
