Re: GOT 3 TICKETS TODAY AND NEED HELP!

The good news is, there are no points for any of these tickets.
Ya, the cop double tapped you for basically the same thing. I really can't see the charges being withdrawn at the court house. Once the tickets are filed with the court, they must go through due process. If the cop said they would be withdrawn if you produced them, get yourself down ...

Re: 25 years old, charged with young driver BAC Above zero

This is not a criminal charge...
Young Driver: means a driver who is under 22 years old.

Re: Fail to yield left turn traffic on a green light

So are you suggesting the person plays lets make a deal on the two paper charges first? Ok, so now the prosecutor says, you plead guilty to one, I will withdraw the other. Now you have to big ticket to deal with...What are you wanting to do with the big ticket Sir? Make a deal? No, there is no bargaining power now, the deal has been made on the ...

Re: Never talk to the police & Know your rights

How does talking to the officer, and being nice, give them evidence to convict you? Being nice, and polite may mean you will get a reduced ticket, or only one when you could get more. You can still deny answering certain questions, just be nice about it. By doing what you are suggesting you have already tipped the officer off that you will be ...

Re: technical radar question

You have peaked my curiosity...In this matter, what would the "irrefutable evidence" be? The courts will consider any evidence you put forth, whether they are buying what you are selling is the big question.

"Do NOT tell them you are going to plead guilty to the disobey sign charge. Do not even mention this charge. I say again, do not even mention this charge".
Really? It's not like the prosecutor doesn't know about it...The prosecutor will be looking at the total package, they know that charge exists, you can't hide it...Your driving record will ...

Re: technical radar question

" I understand that with moving radar, the radar uses stationary objects to compare the target to"
Not so...In the moving mode, it is the police vehicle that establishes its patrol speed from stationary objects, such as, the ground in front, rock cuts, signs and such. Stationary objects have nothing to do with getting the target speed.

Re: technical radar question

Radar has the ability to process many returned signals at once, it will only display the strongest returned signal. So, if there are muliple vehicles in a radar beam, the speed displayed will be from the strongest returned signal. In your tractor and trailer combination, the front of your truck will have a much stronger returned signal due to its ...

Re: Radar and GPS

The new A.L.R.P. (Automatic Licence Plate Reader) cars do have the lat and long attached. The system automatically reads your plate as you drive by and runs it through the system. If there are any problems such as expired val tag or the registered owner is suspended, it will squak and you will get pulled over. I would think if you, say, had a ...

Re: Genesis II - moving mode (slower or faster)

If you are driving in the same direction mode, the faster / slower button tells the radar what the target vehicle is doing...going faster or slower that the patrol vehicle. Basically, it changes the mathematical formula to calculate the speed of a motor vehicle...There is more to it, but that is basically it.
The whole 75% thing is that the patrol ...

Re: truly was not speeding

If the officer was following you, shadowing did not occur. Shadowing will only occur if you are driving your big truck and the officer is passing you. The radar establishes its patrol speed from the back of your big truck, while in motion, as opposed to the surrounding area, which is stationary. Now, the big problem with your scenario is, the ...

Re: Failure to Wear Seat Belt on Private Property

The officer standing on private property has nothing to do with the matter. This case will totally hinge on the officer being able to see you not wearing your seat belt on the main st. Once you recieve disclosure, the notes should reveal where the officer saw you without your seat belt on.

Re: How long to charge?

Yes, you can object. The Justice of the Peace will ask if you have any objections before making a ruling on any amendment. In this case, the amendment is very closely related to the origional charge. Both charges come from the same section, and are only one subsectio away from each other, so there is not a huge difference between the two. It is not ...

Re: How long to charge?

141(6) deals with how to make the turn, where the left turning vehicle is physically placed on the roadway. Where 141(5) deals with turning left in front of another vehicle, not giving the approaching vehicle time to avoid a collision to the vehicle making the left turn. 141(5) would be a closely related charge to Turn Not In Safety, section 142(1 ...
