Thanks for your reply Barry. I am hoping to suppress based on:
1) IRLJ 2.1 deficiency on the infraction notice - it has the officer's signature, not his name.
2) For the discovery, I was mailed the officer's statement, but not copy of the original infraction notice that the officer filed, showing the filing date.
It is possible that the judge may not see the officer's statement as contradictory re: observing no seatbelt "upon contact" vs. "while speeding". Thanks for telling me the reality - I may be putting too much weightage on the officer's wording.
However, I will argue that there is reasonable doubt on the accuracy of the officer's visual determination while he was driving 55mph and we were driving 68mph (a speed differential that would increase the distance between us by 19 feet a sec). Why didn't he indicate his distance from us? (quite relevant if he actually observed something within the car, as he has claimed). I have taken photos that show that even one car-length behind you cannot see "the seatbelt buckle hanging loosely behind the passenger's right shoulder".
I would really appreciate your further guidance in this.
