I would check these rules: http://www.courts.wa.gov/court_rules...p=clj&set=IRLJ

For example you don't have to subpoena. It has to be provided to you.

RULE IRLJ 3.1 CONTESTED HEARINGS--PRELIMINARY PROCEEDINGS

I also think you need to understand Rules of Evidence. This is applicable to traffic infractions.

As I stated above, if you have not reviewed the Rules for your district or municipality you should consider doing that.

I realize there are different statutes, rules, etc for states, counties, districts, etc. but the difference in formality of traffic violations is different than that in courts where criminal or civil charges are heard.

I respect your decision not disclose too much information. It is just a little difficult to tell if you know exactly what is happening or if you don't want to disclose this information.

In any event, good luck.
