The PM didn't seem to work.

I converted the officer's statement to a word document. I probably will not be able to do that with the ticket itself, those are the only two items that I received in discovery. As I mentioned before some of the statements that he makes are not true and/or embellishments. I did question him on why I got the ticket, but as he started droning on about how I was in the left lane and speeding earlier and that this is a NO TOLERANCE roadway, I stopped him and told that he had more important things to get to (specifically the accident) and that he should get to that. I did not continue to argue with him at all. There also was not any cars driving by honking their horns, that is absurd and I would have noticed that. He at the beginning of the stop told me that everything was being recorded. That was not provided in the discovery request, but that is probably normal, and really would not have any affect on the RADAR anyhow, he just makes it look bad with all of his extra dialogue.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON
IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLALLAM
STATE OF WASHINGTON, Plaintiff
vs.
(name captioned on NIO/C) Defendant
NO. xz0038645
Declaration of
Trooper XXX
I certify under penalty of perjury:
I have been a commissioned Washington State Trooper for 20 years and was on duty on 1/9/2020 when I
made contact with the defendant.
This affidavit incorporates by reference Notice of Infraction
xz0038645. On the date, time, and location
listed on the Notice of Infraction, the defendant was observed at a speed, which appeared to be in excess of
the posted speed limit of 45
MPH. When defendant’s speed was obtained on the rear, it emitted a clear,
concise, high pitched audio tone. I observed a visual display on the Radar SMD of
55 MPH in the 45 MPH
speed limit zone for at least 15 seconds.
K| I was using my Radar in the same direction moving mode, the vehicle was approaching my location.
The reading on the defendant was obtained using the
rear antenna.
Careful attention to the RADAR unit and the traffic present at the time indicated to me that the
defendant’s vehicle was the only target in the RADAR beam.
Kl The speed indicated in the Radar patrol speed window was verified with the patrol vehicle’s
speedometer. The patrol vehicle’s speedometer was certified on 1/9/2020 by Trooper Fallon, using
RADAR unit R2896. It was found to be accurate.
The following Radar SMD was properly operated on the above date and time listed on the Notice of
Infraction. Radar SMD was Tag #R2896. I checked the Radar by use of internal test switch and externally
by use of the following tuning forks (manufacturer’s serial numbers) 423115. and 423060 at the beginning
and ends of my shift and it was found to be in proper working order. The Radar SMD is certified by WSP
Technicians once every two years. I am qualified Radar SMD operator having received training and
instruction in the proper use and operation of Radar SMDs.
NOTE:
The defendant caught up to me in the 40 mph zone at MP251. I tracked his speed at 50 mph before he
slowed as he neared me. He was in the left lane and remained in the left lane during my entire observation.
The defendant moved up to my left rear quarter and remained there as if he wanted to pass by me. I was
traveling the 45 mph speed limit through Morse Creek. As we rounded the curve at the top of Morse Creek
the defendant accelerated to 55 mph. He then passed me in the left lane and continued to accelerate just as
we exited the curve. The 55 sign was still more than a quarter mile away and past the intersection of Deer
Park Road. I was driving a fully marked patrol car. There was also a fully marked Sequim Police car
driving ahead of me in the right lane. The defendant clearly had no regard for the presence of law
enforcement.
As I was getting out of my car to contact the defendant, passing traffic that had been behind us honked as
they went by. Based on my experience this indicated the defendant had likely aggravated other motorists
before he caught up to me and now they were expressing their displeasure in the defendant.

The defendant acted as though he had not committed a violation. He stated he didn’t accelerate until he
could see the 55 sign.
While I was completing the defendant’s ticket, Dispatch advised me of a collision blocking the high just
four miles ahead.
I issued the defendant his citation then advised him I needed leave because of the pending collision. The
defendant then began to argue with me over the details of the violation. He stated there was a car in front
of him going faster and I should have stopped it. The only two cars ahead of him with the two police cars.
He continued to argue and be disrespectful. I had to discontinue the traffic the contact and respond to the
collision.

I certify or declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of Washington the foregoing is

true and correct /S/ XXX____________
