Tips To Beat The Speed Camera...

Some ordered a customized license plate of zeroes, O’s and D’s that blend together in such a way that it makes it confusing for a photo-enforcement citation reviewer to confirm the license plate.

Potholes and cracks in pavement can also invalidate readings. So if a car is moving up-and-down as it speeds through an intersection, a speed camera can't issue it a ticket.

Camera Traffic Tickets...

Ever see one of those red lights with the flash going off? Worse yet, ever get a picture of your car with a fine in the mail? Red light cameras are popping up everywhere in the world. The various local governments claim these cameras are in place for safety purpose when in truth, they are purely for profit. Numerous studies actually show accidents rise in areas where these cameras are placed.

Traffic Camera Ticket Defects
Here are a few Defects that can help you beat a traffic camera ticket. These may not apply to all states so check your local laws or consult a legal professional before using these as a defense.

Some states require a clear photo of your face.
If the face is blurry this is an easy dismissal. The face photo is usually only required if points can be added to your license.

There are actually fake tickets sent by the police.
If there is no court address or it states not to contact the court it is a fake ticket.

The photo is not of you.
You DO NOT have to tell them who is in the photo.

Did someone else turn you in after receiving the original ticket.
Basically this means someone got the ticket, said it wasn't them but, gave your name. This can not be held against you in a court of law without them actually subpeoning the person who turned you in.This is time and money they will not spend on a traffic ticket.

Yellow light is to short.
If the yellow light too short then the ticket is no good. Check local traffic laws.

NO Photo Enforcement Warning Signs.
Some states require signs stating that a specific intersection is enforced by cameras. Signs must be visible from all directions of the intersection.

30 Days of Warning tickets on new camera installations.
Some states require a 30 day period after a new camera installation of warning tickets. This also may include cameras added to an intersection hat already had existing cameras.

Tickets mailed late or to the wrong address.
Some states have a specific time frame that the police must mail a valid ticket with court date. If that time frame is not met or if the ticket goes to the wrong address then it can be brought up in court.

Lidar Laser Secrets...

Lidar stands for light detection and ranging. Lidar measures the vehicle's speed by calculating the changing time it takes to catch sight of reflecting pulses of light over a certain time period.

To beat a lidar speeding ticket if you put the officer and the speeding equipment on trial. Create doubt by asking the following questions:
  • Ask what the position of the lidar gun was in relation to the sun and other bright lights, because lidar uses infrared light and doesn't work well when aimed at the sun or other bright light.
  • When was it calibrated on the day of the violation?
  • Ask why, if the officer refused to demonstrate the calibration at the day of the violation.
  • Ask questions about the colour of your clothes, vehicle characteristics and traffic conditions in order to show that the officer doesn't remember the incident.
  • Ask the officer about the laws in the area to establish whether he indeed knows all the rules and regulations.
  • Question the officer about the operating procedure of the lidar unit. Focus on any mistakes that he might have made.
  • Question the officer's hand stability because a slight movement in the arm can produce an incorrect reading, unless he made a cross reference with a stopwatch or radar to check the accuracy of the reading.
  • Ask questions about the officer's training to establish whether he received adequate training to operate the unit.These are just a few questions you can ask to create doubt about the accuracy of the reading and the equipment. It is however important to prepare well for your court appearance. Follow the guidelines on how to beat a lidar speeding ticket and do your research on other aspects such as what to do when you get pulled over and the plea process.
