In many jurisdictions, when you're charged with a crime or a traffic violation, you have the option of pleading no contest, also called a nolo contendere plea, in addition to the usual guilty or not guilty pleas. A no contest plea means that you admit the facts presented by the prosecution but don't admit guilt for the crime charged. Once you plead no contest, the court hands down a sentence.
