After you receive the information on your ticket. You need to develop your strategy based on how the police officier determined your speed.
1. If he used a radar/laser gun, he needs to present to the court the inspection certificate of the unit he was using as well as the proof that he was properly trained to operate such a device.
2. If he was pacing you, then he needs to present the inspection certificate of the speedometer of the police car he was using. As well as the proof that within the previous 6 months this car had no major transmission problem, and didn't change the size of its tires.
If the police officer goes to the court without these documents, you win the case.
Once you are done preparing your strategy, you have two options: 1. Court trail or 2. Trial by written declaration. If you choose trial by written declaration, and the court finds you guilty, you can still plea for a court trial. That's why we always choose the latter.
You need to write a letter to the traffic court to request a trail by written declaration. Below is the letter I wrote to the Santa Clara County traffic court. You need to send this letter along with a self addressed and stamped envelope.
After receiving your request, the court will send you instructions and formal request form TR-205 for trial by written declaration. Please complete and sign the form and pay the required bail amount to the court before the due date.
You should provide a written statement of what happened on form TR-205. In your statement, you must describe all the items of evidence (if any) that you are including with your request. And your written statement must include the following language: ''I declare under penalty of perjury that this statement is true and correct.''
