My Top 10 List Of Speeding Ticket 'Defenses' You Should Always Avoid

Do Not Waste Your Time with the
Worthless Garbage Being Spread on the Web!

By Damon Dallah

Throughout the years, there have been some pretty dreadful speeding ticket defense strategies used by many people. But I don't really blame them. Most were just relying on 'insider' information some website was promoting.

Most of these tactics will only make you laugh and wonder how anyone could sell this stuff and still be able to sleep at night.

Below I have listed the more common ones you can find on other traffic ticket sites. I hope you too will see the futility in them and refrain from using these worthless defenses.

1.

Other Sites:
Take pictures, secretly record the traffic stop, etc.

Like taking pictures, drawing diagrams, and playing Mr. Detective? If so, go right ahead and do what those other guys tell you to do.

Bear in mind however, that when you go to court armed with all this information, the judge may not even look at them.

Even if he does, how is a picture supposed to win your case?

Think about it - what the hell are you supposed to take a picture of? The officer handing you a ticket?

Draw a diagram of what?

Record the officer saying... what? How many of you drive around with a hidden tape recorder in your car? Unless the officer was offering you a bribe, I don't think this would be very effective.

TrafficTicketSecrets.com:
Don't waste your time!

The judge has seen and heard it all before. The last thing he's interested in is a picture or diagram you have made.

The only time a picture or diagram will be of any relevance to the case is if you get caught running a traffic light or stop sign.

In these instances a picture is worth a thousand words. I show you how to use pictures as a valid defense inside my free traffic ticket report.

But for speeding tickets, save your film and do it the right way. Take a picture of the officer instead, after you win your case. Now that's one to put in your scrap book.

2.

Other Sites:
Ask to see the radar unit.

Ever called a police officer a liar to his face? That's what it sounds like you're doing when you ask to see the radar unit. Many books and websites advocate doing this during a traffic stop.

What for?

Even if he did allow you to see it (which he won't) what good could possibly come from it? He can easily lock onto any speed he likes and show it to you.

TrafficTicketSecrets.com:
Don't you dare!

First of all, a police officer is not legally required to show you the radar unit in his vehicle. Not only that, but he does not want to bear the liability of you getting hit by oncoming traffic.

Asking to see the radar unit only aggravates the officer and increases the likelihood you will receive a speeding ticket just for making such a stupid request!

3.

Other Sites:
Delay the court trial.

Most every other book I've read that deals with beating traffic tickets advises you to postpone the trial by asking for a continuance. By doing so, you supposedly increase your chances at winning in court.

They claim the longer your court trial is from the original infraction, the greater the chance the officer will fail to show up to court.

TrafficTicketSecrets.com:
Do not delay the trial!

Simply delaying your court trial will not increase your chances at beating your ticket. My book, Beat the System, will explain to you why this never works and why you should only ask for a continuance if you truly can't make it to the initial trial.

Besides, what if you do postpone your court date and the officer still shows up?

Then what?

There is a way to prevent the police officer from showing up to court without asking for a continuance. If you really had your heart set on the officer not showing up to court so you can get an automatic dismissal, you'll be shown how to do it when you read Beat the System.

4.

Other Sites:
Find out the officer's vacation date.

This is so absurd that when I first read this technique (which is actually 'taught' in a number of books) I couldn't stop laughing.

You're supposed to find out when the officer's next vacation is and schedule your court trial on that date so he doesn't show up.

TrafficTicketSecrets.com:
They can't be serious?

First of all, you do not have a say in when your trial will be scheduled.

And second of all, how stupid do you think the police are?

Like you're going to call the police station and simply ask the clerk when Officer such and such has his next vacation. While you're at it, why don't you find out his address, kids school and social security number. They'll be happy to furnish you with this information.

Yeah, right.

5.

Other Sites:
Request the prosecution's evidence before trial.

Most websites will tell you to request the prosecution's evidence against you before going to court.

By law you do have a legal right to see everything the prosecution plans to convict you with. This process is called 'discovery' and can be useful in a murder trial. But this isn't a murder trial and doing so can actually hurt your case.

TrafficTicketSecrets.com:
Do no such thing!

When you make a motion for discovery and request evidence before your trial, this sends red flags to the prosecution that you are planning a good defense. He'll take it as a challenge and will prepare his case so efficiently that it becomes almost impossible to fight.

This eliminates any chance of you winning.

Don't request anything or even contact the courthouse at any time prior to your trial.

My system is based on the element of surprise. Like a hungry lion lurking in the tall grass - you strike when they least expect it.

You trap them in an ambush they can't get out of. This is only possible through secrecy of your intentions.

DO NOT let them know you are familiar with the court process. The prosecutor WILL NOT come prepared. He hasn't the slightest clue of what you're up to. Keep it that way.

6.

Other Sites:
Bring witnesses with you.

Yes, you can bring witnesses to trial with you, but don't bother. Believe it or not, they will actually hurt your case.

TrafficTicketSecrets.com:
Do not bring anybody to court with you!

You can bet that when your witness takes the stand the prosecutor will be eager to cross examine him/her. When he does, you're going to wish you never brought them with you.

A prosecutor is trained at making a truthful person out to be a liar. Also, the witness may say something inadvertently and lose the case for you.

Besides, they're your witness and are expected to be on your side. The judge will give their testimony very little weight.

7.

Other Sites:
Ask for a jury trial.

Yes, you can request a jury trial of your peers if you feel the judge will be biased when rendering his final verdict (you can only do this in states that label speeding tickets a criminal offense).

A jury trial for a speeding ticket case? Sound like a good idea? Not in the least.

TrafficTicketSecrets.com:
Do not ask for a jury trial!

Jury trials cost the courts valuable time and money. If you would like to piss off the judge, then go ahead and request a jury trial. But beware - jury trials are much harder to win.

The jurors have better things to do then be subpoenaed to a lousy traffic court case.

They may just find you guilty for their inconvenience. And the judge can pick the highest level of punishment if you choose a jury trial, which may include jail time!

8.

Other Sites:
Go through dozens of Case Law.

How many of you like to spend your free time at your local courthouse researching piles upon piles of law books?

TrafficTicketSecrets.com:
Don't do it!

There's absolutely no need to do this research yourself. It's time consuming and not to mention boring.

Although in some cases it may be wise to look up a certain law and see how it is worded, there really is no need to do it with all traffic ticket or speeding trials.

With my system, you will get everything you need to know about the law, in easy to understand language, plus you'll receive access to dozens of pertinent case laws listed state-by-state. I've done everything for you.

9.

Other Sites:
Attack the officer's credibility.

Going to court with the sole purpose of making the police officer look like an idiot will backfire on you.

Claiming things like, "the radar gun was faulty", or "the officer clocked the wrong vehicle", or "the officer singled you out", or "the officer hasn't had adequate training with the radar/laser gun" are all useless defenses.

The only way these techniques would work is if you had concrete evidence to the fact. Do you?

Didn't think so.

Never go into a courtroom with the intent to challenge the officer's training of the radar/laser gun. This type of defense is always attacked by the judge. He will accept the officer's testimony as to his training and will tell you to ask your next question.

The officer will not have to prove his training qualifications in the courtroom!

TrafficTicketSecrets.com:
Never personally attack the officer's credibility!

Let's face it, the officer has been properly trained and knows how to work the radar/laser gun. No question about it. If you try and go this route you will be disappointed when the judge asks you to provide evidence supporting your claim.

You must show proof that...

  • the radar gun was faulty
  • the officer clocked the wrong vehicle
  • the officer singled you out
  • the officer hasn't had proper training

Merely arguing about these assumptions will not work. Remember, you're in a court of law and if you accuse the officer of anything you must back it up with proof.

This is yet another example of how my techniques differ from the rest. You will NEVER have to directly attack the officer's qualifications or training when you use my system. Who's got the nerve to do that?

You will be shown how to attack the evidence itself and not the officer.

10.

Other Sites:
Ask the officer a whole lot of unrelated questions.

  • What time did you stop me?
  • What was the color of my shirt?
  • Did I have anyone in the car with me at the time?
  • Which direction was I traveling?
  • Yada yada yada...

These types of questions only irritate the judge because you are wasting his and the courts' time and money.

Plus, you aren't getting anywhere with this line of questioning. More than likely the answers to your questions are written in the officer's notes already.

TrafficTicketSecrets.com:
Only ask the right questions!

Aimlessly asking a whole lot of questions with no clear goal in mind other than trying to catch the officer off guard is fruitless. The officer only has to prove a few things in that courtroom.

For example:

  • That you were the one he caught speeding
  • That you were caught on a specific street in his jurisdiction
  • That you were caught in a specific vehicle
  • And you were caught with an acceptable form of speed capture and it was accurate at the time of the offense

If he has done all of the above, then the case is almost over for you unless you can cast a little reasonable doubt as to one of the points he has testified to.

Nothing else will work.

Getting the officer to forget what color shirt you had on or what the temperature was at the time is silly and non-productive. Don't make it any harder on yourself. You can easily get sidetracked if you ask too many questions.

The police officer is no stranger to the legal system and knows how to handle himself when it comes to being cross examined. He'll turn the tables and make YOU out to be the fool!

*End of Report*

What you've just read were actual defenses I found on other websites and in books related to beating speeding tickets. But it doesn't stop here. These are only a handful I chose to post.

Yeah, I know, they actually sell this stuff.

This was my attempt at reaching out to you and making you aware of what NOT to do when fighting your ticket, just in case you are due in court soon.

It never ceases to amaze me how these other guys stay in business with such absurd and hopeless information. They are only in it to make a quick buck and not help you win your case.
