Legal Question


failure to stop at stop sign at listed location

My son was cited for failure '' to stop at stop sign posted at the listed location.'' He was alone on his way to school. He left with enough time to be given the ticket and reach school on time. He stopped about a foot before the stop sign in our development at a very busy 3 way intersection (onto a 35mph zone). He slowly edged his way out in front of a marked police car who accelerated as soon as my son pulled out, then stopped him and allegedly asked, ''What the hell are you doing?'' Scared, my son said, ''I'm sorry,'' and claims that the lawman never stated why he was citing him. I have 2 questions: How should my son respectfully defend his Not Guilty plea? Is Section 3111, sub-section a, if found guilty, apt to reach our insurance co?
