Back in January 2022, I was stopping on a red light on a quite dark one lane street while snow storming outside. My phone was hanging on air vent phone holder in center left section under my car's infotainment screen. However, when i breaking stop at the redlight, my phone snapped off the holder and dropped to cup holder the moment i stopped. I didnt even had a time to reach it and I see the cop looking at me from rare right of my car and tells me to stop. I explained but he never listen and insisted giving me the ticket for Distracted driving. Now I am going to appeal in court. From my past experience, officer may not have video evidence available but only a hand written note from the officer. In this case, what's my options to fight and whats the chance to obtain video evidence ? Please advise.

If there's video evidence, it will be provided upon request. More times than not, there isn't any. If not, you'll likely just receive a copy of the offers notes.

Thank you for reply, what do you think my chance of case dismissal with only officers note ? To me, I don't see its an effective evidence to conclude I had phone in my hand for the officer to see through in dark night + snow storm. I'm thinking to check the note to see if he even mentions the environmental condition in his note anyway.

I was involved in a collision a while ago. I was doing a left turn/u-turn in an intersection at the same time as someone else was doing a right-turn on the crossing road. There was no "no-u-turn" sign. My light was green and his was red. We basically converged in the center lane. There wasn't any…

So Again, I really don't know how I'm attracting attention to myself, but I am.

Sorry if i may be posting in the wrong thread my questions are as follows;
1. Are Highway Traffic Act Matters Kept Public? Say if someone did an Appeal would that appeal be kept as public record accessible to anyone who may need it for reference?
