Hi everyone, I've been waiting for my call for NYPD for 2-1/2 years now. In that time, the only smear on my entire record was a seat belt ticket the year I took the entrance exam, until last night. I was driving home and got agitated at the driver in front of me and passed on the right and cut him off. To my surprise it was an unmarked cop. I get the lights and get pulled over. He writes me up for tailgating, improper passing, use of undesignated lane, and no signal while changing lanes. I have no idea what this does to me now since I finished all my required prerequisites and was just waiting for a call hopefully to the next academy, which is this July.
I'm definitely getting points on my license and hopefully it doesn't get suspended. What I find odd though, is that the cop insisted for me plead not guilty in traffic court. He says they can lower my penalty, but I clearly did do those things and I can't back up a plea of not guilty. He saw my PBA card and I explained that my uncle is a NYPD detective. I guess he liked that since he changed his demeanor immediately. I didn't tell him I was waiting to go into the academy though.
Does this mess up my chances for the academy?
Can you get in with points on your license? or with a suspended one?
Why he is telling me to plead not guilty?
My uncle knows my investigator and is going to talk to her, but I don't know if anything can be done about it since the tickets are plain and clear. Thanks ahead of time for any advice.
