Legal Question in Traffic Law in New Jersey
Clocked Speed
I was issued a ticket for speeding, 59 in a 45, but was not told the method used to clock me. In addition, that section of the ticket was not filled in. What are my chances if I fight this? What do I do?

Re: Clocked Speed
Unfortunately, you don't always find out the method used to clock you from the ticket. If, however, you request this information from the prosecutor,you should receive all of the details related to your offense, such as the type of radar, etc. and/or when it was last tested. You will be requesting what is called "discovery" from the prosecutor. There is occasionally some error with the equipment or testing that will help you avoid the ticket. However, it is very rare to totally "beat" a ticket. In addition, there are too many factors, such as the details of your case, that are impossible to assess without speaking with you.
If you are in South Jersey and would like an attorney to help you with this matter then please contact me at your convenience.

Re: Clocked Speed
This is the type of information you would get if and when you request "discovery" from the Prosecutor of the town in which you have been charged. You can get this by going to the Office of the Court Administrator in that town and they will tell you what to do. It is likely that you will end up getting a "no point" plea bargain once you get to court, assuming you were polite to the police officer who issued the ticket and there were no aggravating circumstances. Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. Since you have not retained an attorney in this case, before you take any further action, you should contact an attorney (either me or someone else) to discuss your matter in more detail. Only then will you be able to rely on the advice. I will be happy to assist you. However, you need to call me at 856-546-8010. If you mention LawGuru, there will be no charge for your first consultation. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
