So after a continuance and some crafty negotiating, I;m walking with a suspended sentence. Got to stay out of trouble until August or I will have a record. Lawyer worked the fines down to $250 and got the other charge (toll evasion, which was BS; I've got the I-Pass unit) dropped. Very cool. Even with his fees, I still came out ahead of what a conviction would have cost and no record. Sometimes good things happen to good people
