Congrats on the win!pcgizzmo wrote:Well, here's what happened. I went in and plead "not guilty" the judge said OK wait for a bit and the prosecutor would talk with me.
She came in and asked me "What my beef was?" in a joking manner. I told her normally I do differed adjudication on my tickets and pay if I know I was speeding but this time I just was not. I even offered to let her look me up on their system because I was sure there were a ticket or two on there. I tried to get into radar specifics and tracking etc.. but that went no where with her. Then I pulled out the video from the cruiser I got from the police station and showed it to her on my Ipad. She said "Well, if I were on a jury if I saw this video I don't know if I could tell you were guilty beyond a shadow of doubt so I'm dismissing it".
That was good enough for me. I said "thank you for taking the time to listen to me" and walked out. I'm a pretty happy camper right now.
Just thought I would post an update.
What were the steps you had to take to request the video?
I assume the cop was filming BEFORE the traffic stop took place. Is this common? Are their cameras always recording? I was under the impression that they didn't turn on until physically activated by the officer or automatically when lights are activated.
Anyone know?
