George was correct, each of you controls your own destiny, and each of you (allegedly) ran the stop sign, so you each get your own violation (ticket).
happy to talk off list about legal options.

$335. x 3 for basically one infraction. For that kind of money We could have driven while suspended, passed in a no passing zone, and killed someone. I feel cheated...
Are there any attorneys out there that can give us advice on how to argue this type of case?
I agree that we should follow the rules of the road but, using safety as a "reason" to site cyclists for rolling an empty 4-way stop is BS, they should just call it what it is...a funding source. At least then I could be spared the "speech" about how they are protecting us.
