What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? New York
I was ticketed for speeding--80 in a 65. It was in New York, but I live in New Jersey.
I was passing another car, but was travelling at a pretty consistent speed. There was another car in front of me doing about the same speed as me, but I was pulled over.
I had virtually no discussion whatsoever with the officer that pulled me over.
I entered a plea of not guilty (on November 7) and was required to enter my plea by November 15. I requested a deposition, and I am apparently entitled to receive that deposition within 30 days of the November 15 date.
However, my court date has been set for December 13. That is less than the 30 days allowed to provide me with the deposition.
Should I request an extension for the court date, or (assuming I don't receive a deposition) show up at court and ask for dismissal because I did not receive a deposition? It's a weird question, because my court date is before the day they are required to provide me with the deposition. Any thoughts on how I should defend this?
One other thing: The court is about a 2 hour drive from my house, so while going once is okay, I don't want to have to return there several times.
Thank you for any advice.
