RE: [PLUG] WAYYYY Off Topic.... [Speeding Ticket]DOOH!!

If I remember my evidence rules (it's been a while) the record of the
ticket is either a business record or an official record which is not
considered hearsay and therefore admissible. What they do need to
prove is that the record is the record from the officer (chain of
custody issue).

I'm not a lawyer but I'll bet if you dig through the rules of
evidence you'll find that "someone from the department" does not
have "first hand" knowledge... CRITICAL for evidence. I'll bet
if you had a copy of and could cite this rule you'd be able to
get the evidence (ticket) thrown out. <evil grin>
Say... you were sober, right? I don' want any 90 mph drunk
driver slammin' into my family car some Saturday night!
