My father was ticketed over off of 75th in Seattle for SMC 11.52.100. He was nabbed for 34 in a 20...OUCH! but let me say it was nice to give him the "you need to slow down speach" as he so graciously gave me when i recieved my 1st ticket!
With that said, he was popped via SMD by a seattle police officer.
He has contested his hearing, and requested discovery the the Seattle city attorneys office and filed the discovery request with the seattle municipal court. when the smd device is determined we will obtain the 6.6 affidavit as well...
Thats all i got for now......but figured i would let everyone know as there has not been much activity in this court....
1 question as of now......As i understand it, he will be assigned a (prehearing conference with a magistrate) and at that time the magistrate will rule on the case and if he does not like the decision of the magistrate he will have to request a hearing in front of an actual judge....Also, apparently he can waive the pre hearing conference as well...but the way i see it, is it gives him 2 chances to win....your thoughts?
Also in Seattle Muni....are prosecutors present for the hearing...
