    Default Can You Raise Ticket Defenses Previously Rejected by the State Supreme Court

    My question involves traffic court in the State of: California

    The California v Goldsmith case in 2014 ruled that:

    -Police officers issuing tickets based on Red light cameras is not hearsay
    -Ticket receiver does not have the constitutional right to face his or her accuser (camera operator)

    Does this decision by the California Supreme Court automatically invalidate any arguments that were already decided against by the Supreme Court? I'm not familiar with how knowledgable judges are, but what are the chances that even if I use these two arguments, the judge would not know the specifics of the Goldsmith case and rule in my favor?

    Assuming that I was driving the vehicle, my only option now would be to argue against the yellow light timing / maintenance of the camera / proper placing of signage.

    You're delusional if you think that a judge isn't going to know that case decision. Especially a traffic court judge who hears the same arguments every day.

    Have you done TBD on this? If not, you should. Then look at the original evidence photos (in the TBD folder on record in the court house) and get back to me. Either get copies or take cell phone photos of them. There are plenty of issues to explore aside from the ones you've listed.

    For Weekend:

    The very first question to ask about a California red light camera ticket is, can I ignore it. And, with about half of all camera tickets, the answer is YES.

    1. If it's from a location in LA County, it can be ignored, as the LA county court system does not report ignored camera tickets to the DMV. Skeptical? Search: red light camera no consequence.

    2. No matter what county it's from, check to see if it is a Snitch Ticket, the fake/phishing tickets many California cops send out to bluff car owners into IDing the actual driver. Snitch Tickets say, at the top, This is Not a Ticket, and you can ignore them too! Search: Snitch Ticket.
