Fighting speeding ticket? Then make sure you know the procedures involved. First, your word is never enough against an officer's as an officer is considered and impartial witness with no bias in the incident. You must prove your innocence by presenting a clear case in court, or you may discover a technicality that constitutes a dismissal. Start by examining your ticket. If it contains errors, that could lead to a dismissal. If not, start documenting the details of the traffic stop immediately. Write down any factor you believe could prove your innocence. If there is physical proof, take clear pictures. Document any conditions in the road such as construction, poor weather or heavy traffic that you feel may have been a factor. If you feel the radar reading was incorrect, get the model number and request in court the calibration records, which must be kept up-to-date for a radar gun to be proven accurate. In addition, when in court, plead "Not Guilty." If you feel the case you have built may not be enough, seek a plea bargain to try to either have the case dismissed or reduced.
