My question involves traffic court in the State of: Washington
Hi Expert Law community!
I have been a long time lurker on this forum and have learned a lot..but have just been issued my first speeding ticket in Washington (84 in a 60 -- $218 -- Pacing Method) and have a few questions.
I have read the procedural guide and know how to file for discovery, as that's what I plan to do.
Here are my questions:
(1) If I am in the area of the district court house, can I drop of the ticket with the contest box checked instead of mailing it?
(2) How would I find out what prosecuted is assigned to my case? Is it possible to talk to them and get this ticket turned into a cell-phone violation (Since that won't go on my insurance)
(3) Now that tickets are electronically signed, isn't there virtually a 0% chance that it isn't filed within 5 day?
(4) When filling for discovery, do I need to add something about the Patrol Vehicle's speedometer calibration, since the method was pacing for my ticket?
(5) Is there anything a traffic attorney could do from a getting the ticked dismissed or changed into a NM violation, that I can't do?
Thanks in advance for your help,
I appreciate you taking the time to help me!
Regards,
Chase
