My question involves criminal law for the state of: Delaware
I was recently driving at night on a rural two lane road less than a mile from my house. I was stopped by an unmarked State Trooper who came up from behind me. I was issued a citation for 73 mph in a 35 zone. He says he was running radar out the back of his car and clocked me right after I made a 90 degree turn onto that road. Problem is that there was no speed limit sign posted going east (my direction of travel) for the entire length of the road. Going the other direction there is a 50 mph sign and then a 35 mph sign put up during some construction and then left. The road has always been a 50 zone and according to my knowledge if a two lane hyway is unmarked the speed limit is assumed at 50mph unless it is in a residential area.
The next day I took pictures of the entire length of road showing no limit signs posted. I then sent an email to the Department of Transportation asking what the limit actualy was. They did not respond, but two weeks later came out and posted a 50 sign.
I have been advised that in Delaware a conviction for 38mph over the limit could result in a license suspension of up to 3 months and a fine of $258.
I had the case scheduled for trial in JP court and then had it transfered for trial in the Court of Common Pleas.
My question is can I get this case dismissed, and do I have any recourse against the State?
