Speed dropped, Prosecutor threatened to raise at trial
Posted: Tue May 12, 2015 11:28 am
I'm helping a friend with a ticket. He was clocked at 25Km/h over in a 50 zone. The officer reduced it and gave him 15Km/h over.
He chose option 2 and spoke to the prosecutor. The prosecutor told him that if it went to trial, he would be tried for the original 25Km/h over.
Is this correct?
I told him he should request full disclosure at least in case it's just a threat to get him to pay. He can always pay the fine up until the trial date. I would rather see him take it to trial but he doesn't want to risk the 25 over.
Thanks in advance for info
