What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
I got a speeding ticket in Texas. I was not doing the speed the officer alleged. He alleged I was doing 43mph in a 30mph zone. I requested the audio/video footage through discovery. As I suspected, The video showed that the officer could not have possibly seen me from where he said he clocked me at. There was a large fountain that stretches across the middle of the road, and then the road goes down hill after that. On the video, it showed the officer was not completely sure of himself, in that after I said I was not going the speed he said I was going about four time, he replied how do you know that, in which I replied: "I was watching my speedometer". He also said he did not lock my speed on his radar. Anyway, there are other defects to the complaint which I recieved a copy of from the court, including: I was charged under the wrong statute; wrong license plate number; and wrong street address number of the accused violation area. Do you think that I have a chance arguing that the Officer must have read the wrong speed on the radar, in that he did not lock my speed, so how could he be sure of what he saw, after all he made several other major errors that day. Plus, the video footage shows that he could not possibly see me when he said he clocked me, so how could he be sure it was me he clocked.
Do you think this would work?
