Location Does Not Exist

There are a LOT of improper traffic convictions that happen in CA

my opinion is that it is budget driven

most of these occur because someone doesn't stand up and argue a point.

Can you cite any data, or study, or statistic... anything that supports any of the claims you made here?

Oh wait, you can't!!!

No guts... No glory!

So you're gonna judge my schooling by the "tree story"? Shows how much you know...

Besides, with a name like chuckycheese, you're one to criticise!

Hey, I can't help it if my mother named me Chuckycheese; at least I'm not just 'one of the guys'. Oh, by the way, 'criticise' is also incorrect.

Actually, "criticise" can be correct ... I believe it is common in Great Britain, not here.

In CA the District Attorney is almost never involved in traffic cases at all. The state presents only the officer as a witness for the prosecution, no prosecuting attorney.

I have yet to ever see a District Attorney prosecute a traffic infraction. In some counties the DA MIGHT send someone to accept plea deals the day of trial or some time before, but this, too, is rare.

this is one of those wait and see cases. Im just simply stating from my experience with mistakes on tickets it rarely gets thrown out for incorrect information. All the other ticket info was correct im assuming since he didnt say different. I guess we will all see if he posts the results, however reading a lot of forum theres rarely a finish to the story.

There are a fair number of words like that. I've noticed that most recently in researching Great Britain, as I'm going there next month. However, I live in the U.S. and I suspect he does, as well. When in Rome, do as the Romans.....

Carl and I are in California. It seems like a different planet...but, it's not. (The only attorney I've ever seen in a California traffic court has been the judge.)

You, obviously, are not qualified to make that statement!

As Carl indicated previously, California Traffic Infractions are usually do NOT see any representation by a District Attorney. However, if you ever attended a misdemeanor proceeding, you would see a minimum of 2 attorneys. One is the Judge, the other is a Deputy D. A.

Furthermore, an appearance by a defense attorney is pretty normal in a misdemeanor proceeding; and that would make for 3 "attorneys".
