CPL 30.30 the speedy trial statute requires the People announce their readiness for trial within a certain amount of time after the action has been commenced against the defendant. The important dates are the date of the commencement of the action and the date on which the prosecution announces readiness for trial.
The trial does not actually have to begin but if the people do not or can not announce readiness the case will be dismissed as a violation of the statutory speedy trial law
my question is, does the date of commencement start at the infraction or the first date of court?

Not at the date date of infraction. Ct date or filing date. Also realize there are certain periods of time which are excludable.
