I'd appreciate insight from the brain trust.
The situation : I was stopped by a sheriff on Halloween last year, and given a ticket for an expired registration. When I was stopped, I accidently handed him an old insurance form, and found the new one seconds later, which I then gave to him. Paid the registration ticket.
About a month ago, I received a conviction in absence, for not paying a ticket for not producing the valid insurance to the officer. He had never given me a ticket for this, and perhaps was going to before I produced the valid paperwork, but never cancelled what he had started. Either way, the ticket and conviction were a surprise, as I had no idea.
I appealed, and the court date is in a few days. My question is, what should I bring to the court, other than the insurance showing that there was no break in coverage? I feel I'm being naïve by thinking that a mistake was made, and I just have to show up to fix it.
