    Default Must a SMD Certification Expert Appear at a Speeding Ticket Hearing

    My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Washington State

    I requested the presence of the SMD Certification Expert and the Citing Officer. If they don't show up in the court, do I win?

    Yes, if you motion for dismissal for lack of evidence due to the witness not appearing after being subpoenaed. However, if the officer shows up, plan to lose. If the SMD official cannot appear, then the court will likely reschedule your case.

    I would not be so disheartening; the OP could object to his qualifications & then he would get to cross examine him. I good cross might get him to be determined not to be an expert.
