What is the name of your state? Missouri
Location of Stop = 80th Street and N. Harrison St (heading north on Harrison from 79th Terrace), Clay County / Kansas City, MO 64118
To be brief, a county sherriff's deputy cited me for doing 40mph in a 25mph area (limit was NOT posted) under the Missouri Revised Statutes, 304.010.
Now, RSMO 304.010 actually specifies that the speed limit for the road I was on is sixty miles per hour. The Kansas City Code of Ordinances DOES specify that unlabeled non-thoroughfare streets (such as N Harrison St) are limited to 25 MPH, but wouldn't the deputy have to cite me under KC Ordinances? (KC Code of Ords. Chap. 70 Sec. 361)
Even if I'm not actually guilty under RSMO 304.010, will the prosecutor simply have the charge amended to KC Ordinance 70-361?
Further, if the radar device can be found insufficiently calibrated, what chance do I have with that route?
Finally, if I can reasonably question the position from which the deputy took the reading, where will that get me?
Thanks in advance!
