He/she should normally write it on the ticket(pretty sure they have to, it's always been there on tickets I've seen), but if you can get him/her to say it out loud, it's evidence that you can probably use against him/her. Also you should record your interactions with all officers. My final not a lawyer advice on beating speeding tickets: shut your mouth and don't answer the officers questions. If the officer asks how fast you were going, nothing you can say helps you, especially "I don't know". Just do your best to be polite, but firm, and don't give him anything more than a nice attitude
- lawnchair_larry 12y agoThis isn't always the best strategy. If you're unlikely to make a court date, being remorseful and apologetic has a decent chance of getting you a reduction from the officer. If you play hardball, so will he, then you have no choice on going to court if you want a reduction. If you're in serious trouble, STFU is the correct choice, but it's not necessarily the most economical for a moving violation.
- aidenn0 12y agoIn Virginia, all moving violations are arrestable offenses, so I grew up doing STFU. My understanding is that most states are not that way though.
