Case: XXXXXX9 Reckless Driving & Speeding Not Guilty Verdict

Our client was charged with reckless driving and speeding. The officer alleged that he used radar to confirm that our client was driving 60 miles per hour in a 35 mile per hour zone. At trial, the officer suddenly alleged that he had also paced our client and determined that he was driving approximately 100 miles per hour in the same 35 mile per hour zone. He further testified that our client was weaving in and out of traffic and narrowly avoided crashing into a vehicle pulling out of a plaza. During cross examination, the Ticket Clinic Attorney was able to get the officer to admit that he had no training in using pacing to measure speed, that he had not performed a proper pacing, and that no other traffic was actually endangered by our client’s driving. Our attorney was also able to prove that the officer had never actually turned on his lights until after our client was already stopped at a red light. The Judge agreed that the officer’s version of “pacing” was so improper that it could not possibly be relied upon to prove that our client was driving over 100 miles per hour. As a result of our attorney’s efforts, our client was found “Not Guilty.”
