I create new threads when there is a new issue to ask a question about.
My original thread on this ticket asked questions related to the trial. This question relates to events after the trial...
This was in a town court in Orange County, NY.
Can I appeal based on the fact that the judge took the police officer's word rather than fully considering the evidence shown in one of my exhibits which indicated that from his position (also...
I would have to disagree with this. If a stop sign (or any traffic control device) was placed illegally (or is of the wrong size, color, not the proper number of feet from an intersection, etc.)...
My question relates to legal practice in the state of: NY.
There were two officers involved in my ticket. The witnessing officer was parked in an unmarked car at a location 500+ feet away and...
jk,
So the MUTCD recommends that an engineering survey be used but they are not required to do so. Still the question, is there any basis for a lawsuit when "should" is used rather than "shall"?...
My question involves traffic court in the State of: NY.
During my trial I introduced three pictures. The prosecutor objected to each one saying he didn't see their relevance. In each case I...
I am looking at the 2003 MUTCD which was in effect when my municipality put up the 4-way stop sign in 2008. The section is 2B.05. The manual uses the word "should" when indicating that engineering...
My question involves small claims court in the state of: PA
I don't know if this is the proper forum for this but I couldn't find another.
My local township put up a 4-way stop sign on a road. ...
First of all, being on a cell phone while driving is not stupid in my book. I live in PA and it is not illegal to talk on a cell phone here. Just because NY and other states think it is dangerous...
I have been in a similar situation in New Jersey. I was transporting a handicapped person and the meter officer didn't see the placard. I went to court and showed both the placard and the ID and...
But what if the officer who actually wrote the ticket doesn't show? The witnessing officer didn't write the summons. Don't both officers have to be there? Can I ask for dismissal based on the fact...
From what I understand, nolo contendere is basically the same as pleading guilty - the result is the same, you pay the ticket.
My question involves traffic court in the State of: NY.
I have posted about this before - stop sign violation with two officers involved. One witnessed the alleged violation and another wrote the...
My question involves traffic court in the State of: NY
Member Feng quotes the following from page 38 of http://prernalal.com/banned%20books/...%20Tickets.pdf
Regarding "independent...
First of all, you almost certainly will be a chance to plead down, pay more money and get no points. This practice infuriates me so I always fight my tickets. So if you want to fight it there are...
My question involves traffic court in the State of: NY.
There are two officer witnesses to my alleged violation. I understand that I can make a motion to have them testify separately so they...
In the rebuttal that you refer to, is the prosecutor only allowed to respond to my closing statement (like when he might respond to my cross examination of a witness) as this would limit what he...
I just read the MUTCD section that seems to be applicable to my situation (Section 2B.09) which states:
The stop sign that I allegedly went through was at the end of an exit ramp and the Table...
My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: NY.
I understand that as of 2011, all states must adopt this MUTCD.
According to this Manual, the stop sign that I allegedly went...
My question involves traffic court in the State of: NY
During trial, which side presents closing arguments first. When I was in NJ for a speeding ticket trial, the judge made me go first before...
My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: NY
On my Uniform Traffic Ticket there is a section where you can plead not guilty. In this section you can check off whether you want a...
My question involves traffic court in the State of: NY
I have a pretrial conference for a traffic offense and there were two police officers involved (witnessing officer and issuing officer).
...
I do have some reason to believe that they won't testify that it was the same car (I won't list the evidence here for space reasons).
What I am asking is that, given that I am going to try to...
