I can assure future readers, Maestro64's post is not a clarification of Carl's posts as Carl would not say such rubbish.
Court get very concern when their are accusations of anyone who lies or makes up evidence in court.
OK.
They take this very seriously and if you plan to impeach or perjure a witness, there are set procedure you must follow to do so. There is no case law on this it Court procedure or Legal procedures
While a witness can commit perjury, one cannot perjure a witness. And, as I wrote previously, to impeach a witness does not require any special process. When evidence is contrary to a witnesses testimony, it is said to impeach a witness. There is no special process. There are not special rules beyond normal evidence rules.
Trust me if you call the officer out in court and show he did something wrong it may not go well for you, Judges do not like these kind of tactic even if you 100% in the right.
One should never "call out" another in court true, but trying to prove up what he said is false is the main job of the defense. (Well, maybe not the cop, but at least one of the elements of a crime. For traffic tickets, it ususally requires making a cop out to be mistaken or a liar.)
If you know for a fact that a witness is about to say or do something that is illegal in court you have to notify the court ahead of time.
First, knowing for a fact is problematical as everyone has an opinion on what the "facts" are. Second, you are not allowed to speak to the court except in motions/briefs or with the other party there. I won't go into more, but suffice to say you cannot "notify" the court beforehand. In real (non-traffic ticket) cases this problem is dealt with by discovery. We discover what the other side is going to be able to say or prove and our side doesn't lie.
If you have documented proof of what the officer did was wrong you can bring it to the judges attention ahead of time
Nope.
let the officer testify then show the judge what you have but let him decide what the best course of action.
Nope. You present your evidence in your own time or show it to the cop and ask him about it on cross examination.
Do not attempt in an open court to show what you are claiming the officer did was illegal and lying on the stand can put someone in jail.
Open court is a great
time, and may be the only time, to claim this. If the other side's witness gets put in jail, SCORE! It doesn't happen much, if at all, but, if it did they could make a movie about it. (aka A Few Good Men)
