TRAFFIC COURT GLOS- SARY I. UNDERSTANDING THE TRIAL PROCESS See this section for some easy to understand explanations of key Just like in criminal cases, you are presumed innocent on traffic citations until terms used in traffic court cases the government proves you are guilty. Because of this fact, a driver (“defendant”) like “charges”, “counts”, and who fights a traffic ticket starts out with an advantage. But to give yourself the best “pleas”. chance of winning a traffic court trial, you need to be prepared - regardless of whether or not you have a defense. 888 854 8450 TOLL FREE HELP FREE & PRIVATE ON-LINE CASE REVIEWS www. Traffic Court Pros.com TRAFFIC COURT PROS.COM SELF HELP INFO 2007 A Trial (in the traffic court world) is the procedure a court uses to determine if the defendant (person listed on the ticket) is guilty of the charges listed on the ticket (alleged violations). The charges are usually listed as numbers, which refer to sec- tions in a book of laws called the “California Vehicle Code”, which is often abbreviated to “V.C” sec.. Trials don’t happen in every case. In fact, they are quite rare. In order to have a trial, you must request one. Usually, the accused simply pays the fine that the court assigns to the violation, and the court treats it as an admission of guilt. Once payment is received, the court closes the case and there is no need for a trial. If you pay the fine for a citation before appearing in court, or plead guilty, your case will end, and you will be convicted without a trial. With most California infractions and minor traffic offenses, you have 2 choices from the first day: • plead “Guilty” and get your sentence, or • plead “Not Guilty” and have a “Traffic Court Trial” (a.k.a. court trial). Because of this, in order to fight a citation, you must first plead “not guilty” and ask for a trial. This is typically done at the first court date, which is called the “Arraignment”. An “Arraignment” is the time in which the court hears and records your plea of guilty or not guilty. If you assert your innocence by pleading “not guilty” instead of paying the fine, the court will set a date for a trial. When a defendant pleads “not guilty”, they are in effect requesting a trial. If the date the court gives to you is not convenient, request the date you want. It may work. Most traffic court cases have more than one charge or violation listed. You can choose to have a trial on one or more of the charges, but sometimes it is best to just fight them all and see if the government’s evidence holds up. The “trial” is usually a short hearing in which the judge hears the evidence and determines if the accused is guilty of the charges. It is only at the trial that you are allowed to present evidence, make a statement and to argue a case. It is only at the trial that the officer is required to appear. Traffic Court Trials tend to be more informal than a civil or criminal trial, because these is less at stake. Because of this, there are variances in the way the judges handle the trials from courtroom to courtroom. Traffic court trials are usually the court’s lowest priority type of case, and get the least of the court’s attention and resources. Some courts will do 30 in one day. You should be ready for a short, get to the point now!, type of hearing at your trial. II. DOES A TRIAL MAKE SENSE FOR YOU? It is not always a good idea to have a trial. Sometimes the time and effort is not worth the benefits of winning. Don’t let emotion influence your decision to fight a citation. You must consider losing. If you try to have a trial simply because you are madd about how you were treated, chances are you will lose the trial, become more frustrated, and will face harsher con- sequences. Because of this, you should be careful to evaluate your goals, and the chances of reaching them before commit- ting to a trial. A trial will require 2 court appearances and several hours of work at a minimum. A live trial may take up two or three days of your life, especially when you consider the time it takes to get to court, get the trial date and to prepare for the trial. You must consider the consequences of having a trial and losing. If the court offers you a reasonable deal and you choose to have a trial instead, and then lose the trial, your penalties may increase dramatically. Always ask the court for an offer be- fore your trial. This can be done by asking for an “indicated sentence”, which means “If I plead guilty, what will you sentence me to?”. 888 854 8450 TOLL FREE HELP FREE & PRIVATE ON-LINE CASE REVIEWS www. Traffic Court Pros.com TRAFFIC COURT PROS.COM SELF HELP INFO 2007 To avoid wasting time and money, be sure to honestly evaluate your chances of winning before you embark on the trial path. When making this consideration, you need to be aware of one crucial fact: in nearly all traffic court trials, the officer will present evidence against you including a written citation, and his/her own statements relating to the alleged violations. Ask yourself, “What is it about my case that will get the judge to disregard the officer’s description of the violations?” If you don’t have a clear and convincing answer to that question, a trial might not be the best idea. Consider Traffic School. For many moving violations, a driver can prevent the violation from showing on a DMV drivers record by attending and completing an approved “traffic school” - which the courts call a traffic offender program. For many people who want to fight a citation to protect their records, traffic school is a better option than a trial. It does cost more than if you get your cita- tion dismissed completely, but going to traffic school is a sure fire way to prevent the violation from appearing on your re- cord. You can go to traffic school once every 18 months to clear one moving violation from your CA DMV record. In order to make this happen you must: 1) request a referral to traffic school from the court (usually at the clerk’s office but you can ask the judge in open court at any time); 2) sign up for an approved traffic school within 5 days of the referral; 3) complete traffic school; 4) deliver proof of completion to the court clerks office; and 5) pay the court’s fees in full.

DHSMV, 209 So. 3d 1165 (Fla. 2017) The defendant was arrested for DUI and his license was suspended. The hearing officer affirmed the suspension. But on review the circuit court found that, because the dashboard camera video evidence “totally contradicted and refuted” the arresting officer’s testimony and arrest report, “it was unreasonable as a matter of law for the hearing officer to accept the report and the testimony as true.” DHSMV sought review, and the First District Court of Appeal quashed the circuit court’s order, concluding that “the circuit court essentially reweighed the evidence and conducted a de novo review,” and it certified a question of great public importance, which the supreme court rephrased as follows: WHETHER A CIRCUIT COURT CONDUCTING FIRST–TIER CERTIORARI REVIEW UNDER SECTION 322.2615, FLORIDA STATUTES, APPLIES THE CORRECT LAW BY REJECTING OFFICER TESTIMONY AS COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE WHEN THAT TESTIMONY IS CONTRARY TO VIDEO EVIDENCE.
