TO ALL MY D.C. METRO AREA BROS/SISes ***PLEASE READ!***

I got one of those automated traffic tickets, the one where there is a car parked beside the road and it takes flash pictures of speeders and you get a ticket with the pic of your car in the mail.

I went to contest it (I feel it is my duty to contest all charges against me) and I'm about to tell you why you should, too.

Of the six people in my group that went in front of the adjudicator, three of the tickets were dismissed before the defendant even told his or her story. And here's why:

When the officer first parks the car and boots up the radar machine, and again when he logs off and leaves, there is some (apparently) complicated paperwork that the officer has to fill out. In 70% of the cases, the officer makes a trivial mistake in the paperwork (like checking a box he should've initialed) that invalidates all picutres taken in that shift and gets you off scot free.

I found this out because my case was the last to be heard (of course it was dismissed! :D) and I asked the adjudicator (it's not a judge) what percentage of cases are dismissed, and she said about 70, in her experience, though the cops are slowly starting to learn.

In all the cases where the evidence was still against the defendant, the adjudicator halved the ticket anyway.

Therefore, my brothers and sisters,

ALWAYS REQUEST A HEARING!

Good luck and don't let the man keep you down,

DC. That's the only jurisdiction that has the mobile speeding cams. The others have red light cams and I can't help with that. I figure everyone in the DC area drives thru DC sometimes so first of all watch out for those things but second of all if you get one GO TO THE HEARING

cool thanks for the info, I never heard about the mobile cams. DC local government is incompitent so what you say doesn't sound too surprising.
