What is the name of your state? virginia
I went to court today and my defense was have the officer verify that the tuning forks were tested before and immediately after I was stopped. I asked to see the log manual with the specific time he performed the tuning test, and to present the court with documentation as to when the tuning forks were last checked. I also attempted to reference the Manual of Uniform traffic control devices, apparently there is a section there which states that a speed survey done of the road that I was stopped, could not be older than five years and if so the police are not allowed to ticket me there. I presented to the court documentation that the last speed survey was done in 1987. Still the officer did not produce any of the documentation I asked for except for a tuning fork calibration done in september. Don't I have the right to subpoena or ask for documentation or certifications? what if at the appeal I present more details from the manual of uniform traffic control devices that regulates traffic issues over the entire country? The judge was unfamiliar with this manual? Do a have case to appeal?
thanks
