Hello. Im a 19 yo male residing near chicago. Last saturday, i was ticketed with failure to yield for an emergency vehicle. Allow me to explain. Leaving a car meet, a Chicago PD officer pulled out of the right hand side of the 4 way intersection with little regard of oncoming traffic with his lights on, forcing me to come to an abrubt stop, as he stopped his vehicle directly across my lane. After waiting a few moments of nothing, i peeked around his car, confirmed it was clear, and went around him, crossing a solid double yellow line. Pulling up to the rest of traffic, He traveled past other vehicles in the opposite way lane, and pulled up next to me. He then cut me off when traffic moved, and began a usual traffic stop. Multiple cops arrived and boxed me in. I cooperated flawlessly and gave the officer everything he wanted with no question. There was a bit of marijuana in the open that my passenger was using, thought not I, seeing this, we were instantly pulled out of the vehicle and cuffed and my vehicle searched. After finding nothing, we were uncuffed and allowed to pull my vehicle out of the roadway where i was then cited for failure to yield for an emergency vehicle. Im 19 with a flawless driving record and no criminal record. If i explain the story as, the officer pulled out in front of me causing me to come to an abrubt stop, waited a few moments and made sure the opposite lane was clear, while mentioning my clean history, do you think i have a chance at winning?
