Can I ask for a continuance at the first court date to have time to find a lawyer?
In early march ’16 I was pulled over by MO State Highway Patrol in Cass County, MO. I recieved tickets for no insurance and no seat belt.
My court date in tomorrow morning(5/10/16) at 9am. I didnt realize how soon my court date was and need time to get a lawyer. Can I go to court as scheduled and ask the judge for a continuance? Would he be likely to grant it?I already have 7 points accumulated within the last 18 months and im on probation for an SIS felony Class C.

They rarely do not grant continuances and get yourself a good traffic lawyer in the area.
