If you received a ticket by a New York State Police Officer, you will have an opportunity to meet with the Town Prosecutor prior to trial.  At this meeting, you may have the opportunity to reach a settlement of your charges.  If you are unable to resolve your matter, your case may be adjourned for a date in which the officer can appear in court and testify.  Many prosecutors will not entertain further discussions once the issuing officer has been subpoenaed to appear in court.  If you demand a trial, you should be aware that many convictions of the Vehicle Traffic Law can carry a jail sentence.  While it is rare, jail sentences are have imposed for common speeding ticket convictions.
