My question involves traffic court in the State of: California
I received a cell phone ticket on 6/1/2011 and then received a courtesy notice stating that i had to appear in court on 7/18/2011. Is the 7/18/2011 my trial date or arraignment date?? According to a few websites, I can get the charge dismissed since my court date is more than 45 days from the date of the infraction. Is this correct? If it is, which part of California law states that explicitly? Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
