The forms the government are using are invalid. You haven't been charged. There is no proceeding before the court. The certificate the cop filed with the court is a nullity.

Re: Highway lane usage

What's you take on stop signs. Stop signs at a 4 way stop intersection are not required by law to have the "ALL WAY" tag attached below the sign. If a municipality elects to add the "ALL WAY" tag and they do not add the Bilingual "ALL WAY" tag, does it invalidate the stop sign all together, or just the "ALL WAY" tag?

You have not been charges properly. The ticket you were issued is invalid thus they is no valid proceeding before the court. You cannot be convicted and even if they convict you then you will win your case on appeal.

S. 8 of the POA allows you to settle out of court by pleading guilty and paying the set fine.
