My question involves traffic court in the State of: Washington (Federal Way)
I have posted links to all of the discovery documents as well as an image of the area of the violationwith route driven.
I was issued a citation for driving in a car pool lane. (46.61.165). After reading several posts here, I contested the citation and requested discovery. It appears the filing date is 12/2/11 and the report is electronically signed by the officer (see page 3 of the officers report). After reviewing the discovery documents, it appears to me that I should "plead guilty and explain the circumstances" to the judge. I have been unable to attend any court proceedings as of yet.
I have two points where I need help:
1. If anyone sees anything that would allow me to mount any defense to this citation please let me know.
2. At what point during my trial do I plead guilty? Any tips/advice as to what I should say?
Thanks in advance for any input you provide.
