Legal Question in Traffic Law in Maryland

I received a probation before judgement last august in prince george's county. Now I recently got a speeding ticket from one of those speed cameras. The citation says I won't receive any points, but will this ticket trigger the previous probation before judgement?

Camera tickets are sent to the registered owner of the car. No points are assessed, because there isn't a way to know whether the registered owner was in fact the driver. However if you exercise the option for a trial to go to court to defend it one of the facts that might come out is who was the driver. If the court finds that you were the driver, then the citation might be a violation of probation.

An experienced criminal defense attorney can help you evaluate the prosecution's case, any defenses that you might have, and any plea offer that might be made, so that you can decide whether to go to trial. Consider seeking a confidential consultation.
