Went armed with all my evidence to court today but as I am pleading not guilty the matter has been deferred to August 2nd. When I get the verdict I will let you know how it turns out. Mods, no disrepect starting similar thread, can re- lock this if you think necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a friggin joke really, no wonder most couldn't be bothered with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tig Donating Members 735 Member For: 17y 4m 17d Gender: Male Location: kenthurst, Sydney Posted 13/04/10 07:41 AM Author Share Posted 13/04/10 07:41 AM I thought it was strange, as on the ticket I filled out the section required if you choose to fight the infringement in court. Naively I turned up expecting the case to be heard on the day. I was there, a representative for the police was there but the show didn't go on,seemed like it was just a waste of everybodies time. The police rep gave me a written copy of my conversation with the officer for my records that was taped when I was pulled over, unfortunately due to their illegible scribble I will be going back to their station to request that they give me something that can actually be read. Anyway I will sit back and wait for August to come around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they wouldn't have any money to keep brain washing us that anybody who exceeds the limit by 10 kph is a dangerous hoon who should have their car confiscated. Best of luck with it all.

seduced Need more power. Now taking donations. Member 753 Member For: 15y 9m 24d Gender: Male Posted 13/04/10 10:42 PM Share Posted 13/04/10 10:42 PM I remember a mate who contested his charge of speeding. On the day of the hearing, the court official came out to the waiting hall, asked all those there for speeding offences to raise their hand. He then said "put it back down if you were over the speed limit, no matter the circumstances, even by 1km/h"... all hands went down. He said you all have broken the law, you have no case. Most then left, defeated. Good luck with it, I hope you are armed to the teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Under-Pants Member 2,103 Member For: 16y 5m 22d Gender: Not Telling Posted 18/04/10 02:35 AM Share Posted 18/04/10 02:35 AM The other thread was closed? Fail.That would have been your initial appearance, basically it's a day for making a plea & setting the trial date. Was there a section on the prosecution notice to submit a written plea? The fine that I successfully fought over here in WA took 9 months to make it to court, this is usually advantageous for defendants though. Again best of luck.

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 20y 10m 7d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 18/04/10 06:59 AM Share Posted 18/04/10 06:59 AM If you submit requests for the certification of lidar, the proof that the operator is certified and that the area has been designated as approved for speed enforcement, then you can drag these things on for a long time. You can request a heap of stuff for your defence, one that can really throw a spanner in the works is the SOPs for LIDAR use. The police will not let you see it and you can say that the police are hindering your defence by not allowing you access to this document. You could have grounds for dismissal of the charges.
