My question involves traffic court in the State of Washington. I received a ticket for following too close. I was NB on I-405 in Renton on the Maple Valley exit ramp where I bumped a women car because there was oil on the roadway ( i.e. car slid). I got out to talk to her and we both agreed that it was nothing - no damage etc. and this WSP was on the other side of the freeway writing a ticket. He jumped over the barrier, ran across the freeway and started yelling at me to exchange personal data with the women. Then I explained to him that was non of his business and that we mutually agreed to no to make an issue of this. The officer wrote me for following too close. I explained and pointed to the oil sheen on the pavement which was also wet from rain, and that there was no damage. He wrote me the ticket and told me to tell it to the judge. ISSUES: There was no accident report, and the officer said this was a non-reportable accident on back of ticket. Further, the Officer indicated on the ticket that the accident occurred on MP4 (mile post 4 which is in renton), However, in his sworn statement he said that the accident occurred at the I-405/I-167 Interchange. Any thoughts about suppression of evidence based on conflicting testimony - internal inconsistency in his sworn statement ? What evidence rule for conflicting testimony that would cast testimony in doubt ? thanks in advance Biggy
