My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Wisconsin
State statute 346.57(5) is listed. Speeding (RADAR).
My initial question is whether there is a procedural violation in service. I was informed that the officer had a call to attend to, did not give me a citation, and informed me I would receive one via mail instead. I inquired if this was standard procedure, was told yes (I wouldn't expect an answer to the contrary anyway). Where this becomes more curious, is he proceeded to later come to my home which is outside of his jurisdiction, after a few hours passed, and provide me with a citation at that time. Was this delivery (again/especially for something like a speeding ticket) legal? It was most certainly incredibly off-putting and had a very prejudicial feel, regardless.
Moving onward from that, I'm trying to determine how the court process works in Wisconsin. I have had no prior incidents here here and have had problems finding pertinent information. I've thoroughly read through the forums, have looked at the few cases I could find for my state, and have read many other threads about the various processes used by others to build a defense for a radar ticket.
My case is being handled in a municipal court that serves multiple cities in a few counties. The date of the citation was back in mid-August. The plea date is in a few days, and the website for one of the municipalities states that notice will be given about two weeks after the plea date of a pre-trial conference scheduled for the following month. This leaves an incredibly long time between the ticket and any potential court date. Can anyone clue me in to whether tickets like this are civil or criminal in Wisconsin, and if there is any particular right to a speedy trial?
Moving onward from that second procedural question, so far I've not been able to determine if I will be allowed discovery (or to what extent) in this type of case either. Again, I've seen that some states do and others try to suppress this opportunity (maybe why some have to attempt trial-by-ambush?).
Finally, I haven't found any information whether WI utilizes deferred judgement (which I also have read about on the forums).
I greatly appreciate any information or advice that anyone can provide. I figure that once I address these preliminary questions I can proceed with discussing trial strategy and process, if necessary.
