just because you got a traffic ticket doesn't mean you have to pay it not if I have anything to say about it here are three ways to beat a traffic ticket in court let's start with what not to do I shouldn't have to pay this ticket I wasn't the only one drag racing nope saying the officer selected you out of dozens of other people who committed a crime doesn't absolve you of guilt and now you've just admitted to the crime next I didn't mean to commit a crime I didn't even know that drag racing was illegal ah wrong ignorance of the law is also not a valid excuse for breaking it this won't work either as this cup is a liar he's good look at you [Music] good idea unless you have hard evidence to back up your claim the judge will more than likely side with the cop even if the cop is a jerk so now that you know what not to do here's what to do tip number one get the officer to skip the court date what's the best way to get out of a ticket you have a constitutional right to address your accuser in court but if the cop that assigned you a ticket is a no-show then your ticket will likely get dismissed so we got to make sure your cop doesn't show up for their court date yeah permanently whoa not like that oh I never get to do anything here are a few ways you can increase the odds that your officer is a no-show your original court date is likely a day your officer will be there for multiple tickets simply postpone your date this will increase the likelihood that the cop won't show up out of inconvenience in some states you're entitled to a trial by mail you submit a letter explaining why you're innocent and your cop has a lot more paperwork to do officers are less likely to go through the process if it's entirely paperwork oh this isn't worth it I'm getting lunch hey Sarge Did you recalibrate the radar gun yet oh can I do it later which brings us to tip number two call their equipment into question if a cop gives you a speeding ticket with a radar gun there's a possibility it wasn't calibrated properly radar guns like these need to be calibrated usually every 30 to 60 days and in some states every time after a ticket is issued with them and they usually must be recalibrated with two of these tuning Forks tuning Forks typically must be used when recalibrating radar guns always asked if they were because if not you may have an opportunity to argue that your ticket is based on false evidence and should be dismissed oh we have a caller yeah I'm a cop and I don't really care for those Forks that's what we're counting on how would you even know if the radar guns are calibrated or not excellent question what you need is a discovery request this will allow you to get access to the officer's notes radar gun instruction manuals and calibration records your honor the records indicate that the radar gun used on my client hasn't been calibrated since 1999. gobble gobble case dismissed you must send a specific written request via certified mail to the police department and local prosecutor for more information on what forms you'll need and how to make your Discovery requests contact your local clerk at your Court's office and they'll give you what you need you want to ask for a description of the device use serial number and date of last calibration the instruction manual for said device distance between the officer with the radar gun and the vehicle any other records related to the radar gun and the officer's name thanks a bunch wait wait I can tell you more please don't forget to use this catch-all on your request all other relevant documents and other evidence in the government's possession if you knew you weren't speeding you can use all this information to build your defense hopefully this request will dismiss a ticket but if not this information will be very helpful with tip number three so you move the trial date you requested Discovery but you're still going to court here's what you do to fight it to the very end it's time to challenge the officer what don't worry I'll coach it you're going to want to raise doubt about the government's evidence against you if you're going to cross-examine an officer you have to be prepared you must research the law regarding your alleged traffic violation gather your evidence eyewitnesses from the passenger seats pedestrians who are at the scene photographs of the area where the ticket was issued diagrams diagrams diagrams juries and judges like pretty pictures now I know the first half of this cross-examination isn't going our way but I know my team has been training hard if you prepare your questions gather your evidence then by gosh we might just win over a judge and save yourself 250 dollars so let's go out there and cross-examine can you tell the court exactly where you were when you saw my alleged traffic violation yeah I was in the car ahead of you I saw it in my rear view so is it possible that your attention would have been on the road ahead of you making you unable to draw a conclusion on the cars behind you uh yeah well yeah yeah so just follow these three steps if you were issued a traffic ticket and you want to fight it in court I'm Lobby
