Arizona Failure to Stop, Stop sign on Green Light intersection.

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Arizona

Hi all, I was cited for Failure to Stop at a stop sign. I have a couple questions. I was cited 3/6/2014 and my written court date on the citation is for 3/26/2014. Given I did not fail to stop via obstruction/obscure of view of the officer by the angle and incoming traffic..

Should I file a motion for discovery? Would filing a motion for discovery make the citing officer more aware of the case/prepare additional notes?

If you were cited for a civil traffic violation and a hearing to contest it, you can request a hearing with a civil traffic hearing officer by mail. We must receive your request prior to the court date written on your ticket. Simply complete the form and mail it to the court. Once the court has received your request, a trial date will be scheduled and you will be notified by mail of the trial date.

Should I request a hearing or should I show up on the given court date?

Thank you for any help!

What the heck does that mean? Either you stopped or you didn't.

I DID stop, the citing officer had an obstructed view.
