Help me out here Guys! Speeding Ticket
YEah.. that's smart... and get booked for evading a peace officer. What's the bail on THAT?
GL with fighting, if you guys have any other questions, ask FUwoMANCHU, she's got it down like hotcakes. In the end, when the judge reads both of these sticky notes (one by the cop, the other by you), it basically goes on a triple balance, whoever has more "weight" wins. Just remember the motor cops got experience and all that training under that size 52 belt. Maybe you can rig up some diagrams/pictures to go along with your excellent description of the traffic stop as well. Google maps, street view, etc.. That might help your case. ( This is where BJDino's response comes in, how much is your time worth?) Stick it to'em if you weren't speeding!

I'm under the impression that it works something like this:
An officer goes about his daily duties, writes some tickets and when he/she is wrapping up the day, they have to go to the station and do all their paper work. After their mandatory paper work is done, they then can respond to the Written declaration. Now, they can either dig up a speeding ticket that happened months ago and write a case for why the defendant is guilty and this with that. Try remembering 1 stop out of "x" amount. OR they can simply ignore it and go home. There is no REAL incentive to respond to the TBWD.
My first TBWD win stated that i had won because a "lack of response."
Maybe you can enlighten us a little on the subject and tell me how close I am, or if i'm way off.
**Further more, I've heard about officers that keep journals in their cars to write specifics about peticular stops, incase they try and take it to court.
My tip: Take the ticket, dont argue, keep your mouth shut, dont talk back. Make the ticket process as quick as possible by comply'ing. That way, it will be much harder for the officer to remember the details when it comes time to fight the ticket.
I'm going to remember "Soul ja Girl" on the subway a lot easier than the dude in the back who kept his mouth shut.

The incentive is that the officer takes pride in what he or she does. If you got paid $55+ bucks an hour to write something, would you? I know for one, if I take the time to write somebody a ticket, I will try my hardest to make sure they don't fight it and win. Just think how hardcore a motor officer is about this stuff. They live for writing tickets and taking accident reports. I HATE traffic.
Officers are encouraged to write about as much info that they can about every traffic tickets. Who knows how long it will take to go to court or if a law suit will happen. A majority of the time, the space on the back of the ticket will suffice, maybe not. Every officer has their own way of doing things to help them get through to the end of watch.
The moral of the story is, you better hope this motor cop is a rare exception and he doesn't care about the tickets he writes. If it was me, a small written declaration is a lot easier than going to court. We write sometimes 10+ reports a day dealing with a various amount of incidents. A written declaration is like writing a simple story for us.
