I know it's not taken care of yet. There's no court date yet, if there will be a court date they will include that in their official response. Normally we'd snail mail in the response saying that...

The court clerk emailed back to say that they will have a judge review the documents and we should get an official response in the mail soon. Almost hard to believe the court's modernized enough to...

I sent an email to the court with all the relevant information, including the PDF from the insurance company for proof of insurance, we'll see what they say.

My question involves insurance law for the state of: Washington

My wife was cited for not having valid proof of insurance. The expired paperwork we had in the car was all the same policy...

Discovery is how I got the officer's report I pasted above and I said I'd check the records on file for the SMD certs...

My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Washington

Hi,

I got a speeding ticket while driving my vanpool van into Seattle. It was in the westbound express lane of I-90 on...

Thank for the feedback. My wife seemed to think it was no big deal, and didn't believe me when I told her it could cause some serious problems.

My question involves business law in the state of: Washington

Hi,

We live in the state of Washington, in the Seattle area. I am employed with a large tech company in the area -- let's say it's...

Okay, I'm going to go in today with the following:

I will check when the infraction was filed with the court before my sessions starts.

I will check the SMD certs on file with the court and...

Is https://fortress.wa.gov/wsp/smdsearch/Display/CertificationPrint/3160 (the cert for the SMD from my case) an example of the cover letter not dated after the fact? The SMD expert's signature is...

Thanks Speedy. Does the signature on the SMD certification matter?

Also, does it matter that the officer did not specify the weather conditions? I know that day it was raining a little off and...

Damn it. Got the discovery docs today, and the officer reported that he used the laser SMD from 504 feet away instead of > 5000 ft...

Thanks.

What's the likelihood of a county prosecutor actually showing up to traffic court?

It's Tuesday now, my court date is Friday, and I have not yet received discovery documents. I sent the request using certified mail with a return receipt. I have the tracking number of the...

Okay, thanks. The person that told me was actually a Sammamish officer who gave me my first citation -- he told me that although he clocked me going 20 over he was going to write it as 15 over so...

Waiting now for the discovery documents... Another question: would I still be eligible for deferral if it comes to that? I'd heard before that to be eligible for deferral the ticket has to be for a...

Long story...

Hehe, thanks for the vote of confidence. But is there anything in the law that says how far away the LIDAR reading can be relied on? How wide is the beam at that distance? Though I guess if the...

Another ticket on the way down to Oregon on Saturday the 22nd! The officer told me he got me at 82 from almost a mile away on I-5 north of Tacoma. Looks like it will be in Burien's...

I'm not sure... It was a pro tem judge (the name plate just said Judge Pro-Tem), not Nault, but I didn't catch his name when he was announced to the court. He was a young(er) guy.

:D
Just to complete this thread: I had my court appearance this morning and the ticket was dismissed. I simply said what Speedy wrote above.

Thanks to everyone for their help!

Judge Nault is listed as the judge assigned to Issaquah on the KCDC...

Thanks, Speedy.

I also wanted to ask -- I have not used my deferral yet. Is this likely enough to get the case dismissed, or should I use my deferral? Anyone know if the judge in the Issaquah...

Now that I'm at my office I've got a scanner, so here's all the discovery docs with my info redacted.

Edit:
Was it filed too late? Or was it on the very last day? Cited on 10/2/2012 but filed...

Yah. Nothing about that. That's the whole officer's report.
