In questioning you bring out the discrepancy. In summation you reiterate the evidence is not sufficient based on written and oral testimony.
Thank you for your response. In questioning I asked if the officer had proof that he calibrated the radar. He did not. I left it alone because I figured the onus would be on the people to prove the radar was calibrated. I didn't mention the radar log I had in front of me proving the radar was not calibrated for that reason. I read several objections online somewhere when I was preparing. Objecting based on a false testimony was one of them. The sight then recommended asking for dismissal. I'm glad I didn't try this as it seems like the only thing I would have accomplished would have been to piss off the judge. Thanks again for your clear and concise response.

1. There aren't transcripts taken in traffic trials. They're not required, therefore they aren't necessary.
2. I have no idea what adjusterjack is talking about, but if there WERE court reporters taking transcripts, it would cost a WHOLE HELL OF A LOT more than $4 to get them. The court reporters are paid by the hour (with a minimum) and per page. A simple hour hearing could likely cost you a couple of hundred dollars, not a couple of dollars.
3. CA courts have basically done away with court reporters in anything other than criminal trials ANYWAY. Written into new laws passed when the courts went broke a few years ago
4. Most courtrooms went digital long ago.... another reason for no court reporters.

and.... court reporters (not stenographers) make their living by working for the COURTS, not by selling copies. They're paid REGARDLESS of whether they sell a copy of anything.
Thank you also for your response. I have no idea what adjusterjack is talking about either, or why he would respond to a comment I never made. Maybe he was looking for a fight, or perhaps the voices in his head were talking to him again. Anyway, I could have sworn there was a woman in the courtroom typing notes. Are you positive there are no transcripts available in traffic court? Sorry to ask again but I figure it's easier than calling the courthouse and being led around in circles. Thx in advance.
