What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ca
Okay, almost there now.
I have my courtdate on Thursday at 1:30pm, so about 48 hours to go. I have a few basic questions about procedure, questioning, etc.
1. Objections - Are all objections from normal court/mock trial in high school/tv courtroom dramas applicable? Is there a list somewhere of the basic ones?
2. I intend on using questions very similar to those on helpigotaticket.com. I'm trying to anticipate all possible officer responses. For questions like:
"Did it ever appear like my car was about to leave the road?"
"Were there any pedestrians around at the time?"
"Did my speed endanger any other cars?"
etc
What do I answer if the cop says "yes" (for all the answers it should be 'no', honestly hehe)?
Do I ask him if he has any evidence to show his claim is correct? The helpigotaticket.com question list says that the guy who runs that site never actually had someone testify that his car was about to leave the road, but I want to know what to do if the officer actually does say something out of line like that.
Any more last minute pointers?
