    Default Sending in a Statement to the Traffic Court

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

    Hearing date is 12/3/12. Was planning to send in statement by mail as court location is 2 hours from home but received discovery documents today 11/28 (requested on 11/9 per certified mail) so not sure if I have enough time. Need to send statement tomorrow 11/29. Discovery documents at link below:

    https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B9G...V9hNEpkTjl5SVk

    1. Are there any means to defend against this ticket after review of the discovery documents?
    2. Should I try to contest via mail still or should I show in person.

    I briefly reviewed the docs and did not see anything out of the ordinary. I am hoping one of the experts on this forum are able to help.

    Please post if you need additional details or if you have any trouble with the link to the discovery documents

    Thanks in advance.

    Default Re: Advice for Speeding Ticket Asap (Have Discovery Docs)

    The dates on the faxes suggest that it may not have been filed within 5 business days. Promptly investigate. If it was more than 5 business days it is an easy dismissal and they cannot refile. The date stamp on the officer's sworn statement looks to be the filing date which is almost a month and a half from the cite date. If this is the date the notice was filed with the court, IRLJ 2.2(d) is a winner.

    Edit: This is an easy win. The radar cert is WAYY OVER 2 years old!

    I think you have a homerun here. You should appear at the court tomorrow. Don't do trial by mail on this one.
