Speeding Ticket for "70+"

[Toaster]

I was just making sure that I had the right number. I planned on hand delivering the ticket with the discovery. Saves me a stamp and works the same. Right?

Indeed it does.

Thanks guy, I don't want to be hassle you guys and trying not to be "Spoon-fed" just want to make sure I'm crossing all my T's and dotting all my I's.

Greatly appreciated. I will post up the discovery when I get it. Thanks

Here you go guys, tell me what you see. Please help

And this was the discovery request.


I was kinda confused with the lack or written report.

April 6th was filing day.

I erased sensitive info (Addresses, name)

1. "Your Honor, I move to suppress the LIDAR readings and move for dismissal. The officer did not state that HE tested the unit, nor did he give the results of any testing performed."

2. "Your Honor, I move to suppress the LIDAR readings per IRLJ 6.6(c), and move for dismissal for lack of evidence. The Notice of Infraction was issued on 4-4-2012. The two year certification period lapsed on 4-21-2012. This unit could have been dropped numerous times in that two years, and seeing that it was so close to the re-certification date, the LIDAR evidence should be found to be insufficient since it barely complied with the state's certification standard."

Just curious, how does the second one work? I just am curious how that's a defense.

How did you get the lidar certification info?

Thanks SO much for your help.

Also on the bottom of the letter written by the Discovery Response, are the certificates mentioned of any importance. ? Thanks

Oh and if anyone else has anything to say please comment!

Edit: Reposted the above, forgot to edit something out.

I've seen several attorneys make the argument and get things dismissed. Depends on whether the prosecutor is there as to the strength.

Not that I can see. They covered their bases on the response, because the LIDAR cert is on file with the court.

In you're opinion, are these defenses "Strong" and if the judge doesn't like them what happens?

Such as am I no longer eligible for a deferral?

Any advice for a 17 year old male? Ha

[Speedy Gonzalez]

The first is pretty strong. Second is iffy, but could work if you have nothing else. You can always ask "I would like to make sure that deferral is still on the table if I make a couple motions" before you make them. I think any judge would be pretty impressed to see a 17 year old kid that did his homework, and the prosecutor didn't.
