Well I live here in Florida, I have NY plates on my car. I roll a stop sign in my complex for my job, get pulled over by a motorcycle cop. He knows I work here i'm in a office complex. I say I moved here 2 weeks ago. He threatens to take me to jail since I have a NY license.

Now I rolled this stop sign going 3-6mph, he says well there was a car behind you. (There was about 40-50ft) he says you have no regard for his property or the property around you). He writes me a "reckless driving" ticket.

He puts on the ticket I been here 2 weeks so I had no choice to get my Florida license. Since then I got my Florida license, I didn't get the plates yet I will in the next week or so.

This happened in St. Pete, do I need a lawyer for this since it's a criminal offense? I have never been to court here yet so I am unfamiliar w/ the process. I wasn't driving the Vette when this happened I was in my Mustang.
