Save your money. If what you received is the only evidence they have, I can't imagine they'd even proceed to trial.

Yes, that's why I'd like to take Option 2 for the first two doc-related tickets and hope them dropped at a meeting with a prosecutor. Then, I'd only have the red light ticket at a trial.

The whole idea of them dropping maybe one of the the lesser charges is so there's no trial. If you're going to go to trial anyways, what's the point? They might ...

Now the office is closed so I wouldn't be able to go until tomorrow, would they be able to change my choice from Early Resolution to Trial Option?

If you don't agree to the offer, they'll simply book you a court date. There's no harm in seeing what's being offered.

If I took my insurance slip to the courthouse is there a possibility they could ...

What were you suspended for the three times you got charged? Unpaid fine for all three? Have you been convicted for any of them yet?

So the next point you could try to win on, is that "unnecessary noise" is in the subjective opinion of the officer. Since there is no specific decibel level set as to what is unnecessary noise, it is up to the officers opinion. So you need to question him on his training to determine noise levels. Of course he does not have any, so the questioning ...

This is my understanding.

Towing companies have contracts with the cities. These tenders come up every couple years or so and the various companies will bid for the contract. Usually they spread these contracts across multiple companies based on police divisions. This determines who tows your vehicle and where it's going to go.

Police will notify ...

The officer is correct. There's way too many variables to give you an answer.

Surcharges vary by company. Most insurance companies use the Facility Association Rules as a guideline. Those guidelines would tell you 1-49 is a minor offense and the first conviction would result in a 0% increase. Some insurance companies will advertise this as a ...

Let me expand.

If you sit around for months and wait until the last minute to request disclosure, it will be used against you. You're going to argue how you don't have disclosure and the other side is going to make the point that you've made no attempt to request disclosure until the last minute.

Your trial will likely be adjourned and you'll be ...

You're supposed to want disclosure as soon as possible. Waiting until the last minute or waiting until it's impossible to respond doesn't benefit you.

You're only sabotaging your own trial.

As for typed version of any handwritten notes, I agree that its unlikely to receive it on first request, but if dont request it now and if I get handwritten notes just before the trial, how will I be able to claim that they didn't provide the typed copies of the officer notes and request a stay/ adjournment if Ive never requested a typed version ...

Also, it looks like he started clocking me BEFORE I was going up (the rode dips and rises to where officer was standing) which means that my direction of travel was not linear toward the officer (Ive heard that the radar or laser gun has to be on the same vector as the direction of travel.)

Hills, dips, etc are only going to benefit the reading ...

The side of the road isn't a courtroom. You are simply being charged. You haven't been convicted of anything.

Sometimes the officer will show the reading, but that's up the the officer. He's under no obligation to prove his case to you.

I'd agree with Stanton in that the mention of showing the device in that particular case wasn't going to swing ...

Is it possible to negotiate pleading guilty to a charge that is a non-moving violation, which won't affect the insurance (something like no seatbelt as a passenger or red light camera tickets)? Thanks.

No. It has to be in the same realm. Your speeding ticket can be reduced in terms of km's, but that's it. They aren't going to charge you with ...

It means he reduced your ticket. You can mention it in court, but they already know anyways. If you go to trial, your ticket goes back up to 84 again.

that day is foggy day, weather report say visible is 0 that area , apr. 3 morning, I do not know how cop catch 145km/hour, what I can do now,

Request disclosure if you want to find the answers to your questions.

what I can get if go to court, deduct fine or point, thanks

They can only reduce the charge. Whatever fine or points attached to ...
