What is the name of your state? NY
I was ticketed driving 50mph in a 30mph zone. This is my first ever offense. The officer informed me that I should plead 'not guilty' on my ticket and he will 'work something out' with me in court.
I plead not guilty the next day and it has been 3 months and I have not heard anything from the court, DMV, or the police department.
My question is, since so much time has elapsed, when the trial date finally comes, can I ask for the case to be dismissed because I was denied a speedy trial?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. This is in Dutchess County, NY. The ticket is handled through the Poughkeepsie City Court. The case will be in front of a real judge. I was given a supporting deposition from the officer at the time of ticketing, and it contains basically the same information as those on the ticket.
