How to Appeal a Speeding Ticket Conviction

My question involves traffic court in the State of: Washington
so received a speeding ticket in a 60mph zone. WSP clocked me going 73mph.
However he wrote it for going 65+. I have got my discovery with smd report.
Any help would be great.
here is a link to my Discovery.

If you can rescan your documents (including the NOI) with more resolution, we can take a look. I cannot read the documents as posted -- way too "fuzzy".

Any ideas?

Hmm... the officer's statement seems fairly solid from what I can see.

About the only thing I can come up is this: Why is the LIDAR cert log signed by AFH (Anthony F Hilcock) on 6-3-2010, and again on 2-8-2011 if the "official" certification document clearly states that the certifying official is Steen R Nicholson? Hmm... they are THE two guys that do RADAR/LIDAR certification for the state patrol, but Steen R Nicholson claims to be the certifying official under penalty of perjury, yet Anthony F Hilcock initialed the attached calibration log.

Barry? Brendan? What say you? Think any judge would go for hearsay on the cert?

The document by Nicholson should be objected to: he has an associates degree, never said that he published any papers, never shows he is an expert.

The document by Hillock (SP?) states a delta distance check is required yet the officer says he did not do it ... the delta distance check is a critical test .. it tests the marriage of the range-finder,clock mechanism, and calculating program of the unit . Without it, the LIDAR unit has not been properly checked by the officer.

Officer never states he was training in visual speed estimation.

And the melendez-diaz argument regarding the Nicholson & Hillock docs to strike them from the record.

One must do more when trying to introduce expert testimony..much more.

Personally, I would serve two different subpoenas. One for citing officer and one for officer operating the SMD. And they would both be served at exactly 7 days before the hearing. But that's just me. Barry would probably do otherwise.

I would want to see if they were radio-ing to each other, or if they were right next to each other. What exactly was said over the radio, etc.

I wondered about that "Trooper Olson contacted the driver of the vehicle" line. Is the LIDAR operator and citing officer not the same person here?

jl8196, can you confirm if there were two officers involved? Does the signature on the citation have the same badge number?

There was only one officer who cited me the ticket. He was on a motorcycle.

Please post a copy of the Notice of Infraction so we can see the signature. Redact your personally identifying information.
