One thing that no person wants to face is the prospect of receiving a speeding ticket. It’s costly and if you’re looking up at a police officer who has stopped you in traffic to write you a citation, it’s embarrassing as well.
Today, with the advent of the photo radar ticket, you might not realize the damage your lead foot has done until days or possibly weeks later when you open your mail to find an image of your license plate on your vehicle that was speeding merrily along; if that’s not enough you’ll also find inside that envelope a hefty fine for breaking the law.
If you do happen to spot the flashing red and blue lights in your rearview mirror there are some important steps you can do at that moment that can help you to beat the speeding ticket and either pay a reduced fine or in some cases no fine at all. Anyone who has been pulled over for speeding knows how it’s tempting to argue with the police officer. This isn’t something that you want to do for a number of reasons.
There are however certain reactions that can help on the spot. It’s an old belief that acting as though you don’t know what you did wrong won’t help. That might not be the case. The same can be said for acting scared or upset. Police officers are first and foremost people just like you and sometimes human nature takes over and they’ll let you leave with just a stern warning. That’s not to say that you should break into tears when the policeman comes to your car but showing some emotion certainly cannot hurt.
Depending on the size of the citation it might be in your best interest to consult with a traffic ticket specialist. These are normally attorneys who specialize in traffic violations or retired police officers who just want to help the average citizen. Their familiarity and expertise in the area of speeding and traffic affords them insight into some of the lesser known loopholes.
Another alternative to hiring someone to fight the speeding ticket fight for you is to do it yourself. Instead of paying the fine you attend court on the date specified on the original citation the officer presented to you. Your plea is of course going to be “not guilty.” Again there are many small things the motorist can do in court to better their chances of not paying such a high fine.
When facing a speeding ticket it’s important for the motorist to remember that the fine most likely isn’t going to be the only price they pay for going above the posted speed limit. Speeding tickets often mean an increase in insurance premiums. In some cases, depending on the violation the fine can be hefty. Being clocked going well over the speed limit could cost in the hundreds of dollars when the ticket and the increase in insurance premiums are combined. Weighing all the options could result in lots of money saved.

“For sixty years the U.S. Supreme Court avoided trekking through the constitutional minefield accumulated around the long standing practice of police stopping and temporarily seizing people at ‘civil’ traffic stops.”

It’s a nice day and you are traveling down the road in your automobile listening to one of your favorite tunes playing on your car stereo when, a frenzied display of psychotropic red and blue pulsating lights appear suddenly in your rearview mirror. It’s a traffic cop! Like a warring bird of prey, he has swooped down upon you at lightning speed from out of nowhere and now he has you hopelessly locked firmly in his clutches.

Millions of Americans each year, traveling upon our nation’s highways and streets, share in a similar unpleasant experience of getting a traffic ticket. In most states, minor traffic offenses are legally classified as infractions. Infractions are considered legally to be ‘petty offenses’ of the law and not a crime. The commission of an infraction is classified as a non-criminal act and, therefore, the infraction is a ‘civil’ breach of the law.

There is little civil about the experience of being chased down like a common criminal by an armed police officer and handed a civil traffic ticket. Most people find the experience to be very unnerving, if not downright frightening. The civil traffic stop is made infinitely more tyrannous in light of the fact that the victim of the cop’s assault committed no crime.

The Fourth Amendment was designed to protect us against unreasonable search and seizures, requiring police to first have probable cause. Although probable cause was not defined by the Fourth Amendment, the Supreme Court has long held that probable cause must include a criminal act to warrant seizure, or arrest. In Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1 (1968) the U.S. Supreme Court held that police may briefly detain a person if they have a reasonable suspicion that the person has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime.

Being that the Supreme Court’s litmus test for probable cause has historically required the element of a crime to be associate with reasonable cause for a seizure, how then is it possible that a traffic stop (seizure) for a non criminal civil infraction not to be a violation of the Fourth Amendment?

In 1967, the Supreme Court cracked open the door to provide legal sanction to what police officers were already doing around the country in violating the Fourth Amendment (performing traffic stop seizures for non-criminal civil infractions). In Delaware v. Prouse, 440, U.S. 648 (1967) the Supreme Court ruled, “The permissibility of a particular law enforcement practice is judged by balancing its intrusion on the individual’s Fourth Amendment interests against its promotion of legitimate governmental interests.” [writer emphases added]

For over sixty years the U.S. Supreme Court avoided trekking through the constitutional minefield accumulated around the long standing practice of police stopping and temporarily seizing people at ‘civil’ traffic stops. Civil traffic stops (seizures) were unquestionably at odds with people’s Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable seizures. The Supreme Court’s refusal to take the lead on the constitutional issue of the civil traffic stop left the state courts twisting in the wind of tyrannous constitutional construction and clamoring for a clear constitutional path they could take to safely traverse around the Fourth Amendment roadblock regarding the civil traffic stop and seizure.

The state courts have long and desperately sought the U.S. Supreme Court’s assistance in constitutionally ‘legitimizing’ (tweaking the Constitution) the six decade practice by police officers of seizing people for civil traffic offenses. The state courts had no way of neatly disposing of the highly problematic constitutional requirement that the U.S. Supreme Court had saddled them with. The U.S. Supreme Court had ruled that probable cause for a temporary seizure required a crime and the civil traffic stop was not a crime.

In 1996 the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Whren v. United States, 517 U.S. 806 addressed head on the question of whether or not the civil traffic stop (seizure) violates a person’s Fourth Amendment rights. Acquiescing to the state courts’ demands, the Court provided the state courts with exactly what they had long sought, ruling; “As a general matter, the decision to stop an automobile is reasonable where the police have probable cause to believe that a traffic violation has occurred.” [writer emphases added]

Politicians are well known for their talent to spin things. ‘Spinning’ is the ability to make things appear to be something that they are not. However, this talent is not limited only to politicians. Supreme Court justices are also very practiced in the art of spinning. Justices of the Supreme Court are lawyers, and lawyers practice a form of spinning known as ‘legal word art’. This form of spinning is created by transforming common words into technical legal jargon with hidden meanings.

The Supreme Court in the Whren case applied a hefty dose of good ol’ spin doctoring, as the politicians like to say, to make it appear as if the civil traffic stop was not an assault on our Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable seizure. The Court in Whren capitalized on the use of one tiny, common, ordinary word – a word everyone uses and believes that they know the meaning of – ‘traffic.’

Traffic; the flow of vehicles and pedestrians along public right of ways. True? Yes, quite true when the word traffic is used in its ordinary sense, but not true when the word traffic is used in its legal sense. The word traffic used in its legal sense means an activity involving commerce — transportation of goods and people for profit as revealed in the following definition for the word ‘commerce’ under U.S. Code, Title 42, 21, VI, § 2000e (g). The term “commerce” means trade, traffic, commerce, transportation, transmission…” [writer emphases added]

A little more than a century ago, America had less tyrannous courts. The following 1898 Illinois Supreme Court ruling regarding the licensing of motorized methods of private transport of people not engaged in traffic is great proof of how at least one state supreme court followed the Constitution back then.

“The license is designed to operate upon those who hold themselves out as common carriers, and a license may be exacted from such as a proper exercise of police power; but no reason exists why it should be applied to the owners of private vehicles, used for their individual use exclusively, in their own business, or for their own pleasure, as a means of locomotion.” City of Chicago v. Collins et al., Supreme Court of Illinois. 175 Ill. 445, 51 N.E. 907 (Oct. 24, 1898).

The Illinois Supreme Court in 1898 held firm to the constitutional fact that the states have the power to regulate, license, and tax only those persons engaged in the activity of commerce related to the transport of people and goods upon the public right of ways.

Technically, the Supreme Court did not assail our Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable seizure. Stopping and temporarily seizing a person engaged in traffic (an activity in commerce) does not per se violate their constitutional rights under the Fourth Amendment. The constitution grants states the right to regulate profit making activities in commerce upon the public right of ways.

In a realest or truest sense, the Supreme Court walloped our Fourth Amendment rights smack between the eyes with Whren (which was the Court’s intention from the get go). The states had long been pressuring the Supreme Court for a ruling such as this. They desperately needed to justify sixty plus years of doing what is not justifiable – their long practice of seizing people not in engaged in commerce at so called civil traffic stops.

Had Whren raised the issue about his not being engaged in commerce and a regulated activity, at the time of his trial, then in all likelihood the Supreme Court would have passed on hearing his case. The Court would have just waited patiently for another case to come along possessing the elements necessary to rule in the same manner as the Court had done in the Whren case.

Traffic boils down to money, power, and control. Traffic tickets are a multi-billion dollar bonanza for state and local governments. Profit making activities allows the government to regulate, license, and tax people under the constitution. The state traps people into traffic in much the same manner as it does regarding the Income Tax – the government just pretends that we all are engaged in a profit making activity.

The Supreme Court acted on the pretense that Whren was engaged in a profit making activity upon the public right of way and therefore, the state had the power to regulate his activity (driving or being in commerce). The police have the right to regulate traffic and, therefore, can constitutionally temporarily seize a person engaged in commerce to issue them a traffic ticket for a civil breach of the state’s driver’s license compact.

The state’s so called driver’s license compact is written for those engaged in commerce. However this fact is cleverly disguised and hidden from people by the lawyers who write the laws using the “spin doctoring” or ‘legal word art.’

Your possessing a driver’s license is not proof or evidence that you are engaged in traffic. You can have a driver’s license and your car can be registered and this does not prevent you from lawfully traveling in your private constitutionally unregulated capacity upon the public right of ways. It’s the activity of engaging in commerce that grants the states the right to regulate traffic and nothing in the Constitution grants the states the right to regulate the people’s right to travel. The right to travel is not and cannot be made a regulated activity. Therefore, the temporary seizure by a police officer at the time of a traffic stop is unquestionably unconstitutional.

We all get speeding tickets on our record, but there are times when you can escape with a clean record if you know how to deal with the situation. You may be surprised to learn that there are people who use all sorts of tips and tricks to beat a speeding ticket, and it really works for them. It is a false myth that fighting with a police officer will help you beat a speeding ticket: practice shows that you will never increase the chances of leniency like that. First of all, you’ve got to make the man like you, and then, maybe you’ve got a chance to escape with a clean record.

First of all, any encounter with the police will cause tension, sometimes on both parts; what you have to do is get rid of that tension. If you want to beat a speeding ticket, start by turning the lights in the car on, if you are stopped at night, and put the keys on the roof of the car as a sign of total submission. Think for a moment that the officer has to deal with lots of law breakers, and you definitely want to be exactly the opposite of such a person. You have to make the officer feel comfortable in your presence!

Once you have a nice attitude, obediently go through the basics, let him or her check the documents and do exactly as asked. Do not try to beat a speeding ticket at such a point as you may fail before even starting to talk. There are officers who won’t even speak to you before all the formalities are over, so do not make an undecided situation worse. If you know to have broken the law, clearly admit it, tell the officer that he / she is right to have pulled you over.

In some cases you can beat a speeding ticket by merely admitting your fault and the fact that being a policeman must be pretty challenging. Many officers will not punish you any further when you show that you are aware of your mistake. The better you make the other person feel, the higher the chances to beat a speeding ticket. Ask to see the radar, but do not insist any further if the officer turns you down. In such case, ask some questions at least to show that you are interested in the case.

Do not use a sarcastic or “I-know-all” tone, as this will make the officer fight you even harder. When you plead your case, be argumentative, admit your mistake, but also point out what a big deal the fine would be for you. You have higher chances to beat a speeding ticket if you remain calm and ask for a penalty omission. Do not beg or grovel, be polite and open as much as you as your dignity allows it.

How to fight a speeding ticket? This is the big question when you know you’ve stepped too much on the acceleration pedal and you see the blue lights of the police car in the rear mirror. There are no rules about how to fight a speeding ticket; you can try and convince the officer to let you go without any penalty or you may go to court and beat it there. When you take the matter into your own hands and try to solve the issue on the spot chances are that you will fail, however, many drivers try it. Here are a few mistakes commonly made when you don’t know how to fight a speeding ticket.

The wrong attitude towards the police officer is not at all the perfect way to start. Statistics show that many people who are confident that they know how to fight a speeding ticket, take it the wrong way. Thus, do not take a “know-all”, sarcastic tone, this will surely annoy the police officer and will make it him or her even more determined to charge you. There are two courses of action you may choose from: you can either be totally open and honest and admit your fault, or you may say as little as possible and plead not-guilty.

The former situation is pretty risky since you do not know for sure whether the police officer will let you go with just a verbal warning. Having already admitted your guilt, it is most likely that the officer will put that down in the papers and you’ll be beaten with your own words in court. There are no 100% valid tips on how to fight a speeding ticket under such circumstances. One thing is however clear, people who have exceeded the speed limit with just two or three miles are more likely to get away without having any points added to their driving license.

Last but not least, there are definitely more words of advice on how to fight a speeding ticket in court. There is no point in admitting that you were guilty of the violation that you are charged with; if you do so, you’ll be paying higher insurance rates for the only reason of telling the truth. Of course, this would be a very reasonable and moral course of action: admit responsibility for your deed and do your best not to break the law again. Unfortunately, this is not the case! Many studies indicate that people who got a traffic ticket once are very likely to commit the same traffic rule violation again.

One of the latest online facilities is that you can pay speeding ticket charges directly on the Internet without having to waste any time or money for getting to a clerk office in person. When you are charged with a traffic law violation, you will get both a fine and some penalty points that will be added to your driving license. Once the court appeal is over and things do not work out in your favor, ask for information on how to pay speeding ticket charges; it is good to know that most courts only accept cash, not checks, so you should be prepared for the case.

A good attorney could negotiate on your behalf in court so that you can get away without having to pay speeding ticket fines. The success of the appeal very much depends on the specificity of the case, on the details you and the police officer remember, on the facts that the officer put down in the papers and so on. If your traffic violation is minor, chances are that you will get away with a very good deal. The only problem here is that the charges of a traffic attorney are very often higher than the sum you’ve got to pay as such. From case to case it is up to you to decide whether you need professional legal advice or not.

If you pay speeding ticket charges before the answer date that is inscribed on your ticket, the case will not be sent to court. You will simply have the points added to the license and bear the consequences, however, many people choose an open trial in order to be given the chance to plead not-guilty. Only after the case is over will you have to pay the charges if you haven’t cleared your record by then. The fines vary from state to state, but they are usually higher than $100.

Before you rush to pay traffic ticket fines it is good to have a look on the Internet and see whether you’ve got any chances to beat it in court. If this be the case, it is entirely up to you to decide if it is worth investing more time and money in the matter or simply pay it and be over with. The only problem is that a speeding ticket will remain on your driving license for years and every insurance company you will turn to will check your history several years back. Thus, the car insurance rate will no longer be that advantageous for you. Good luck!

Employing a traffic offense attorney is oftentimes the most probable solution to venture in if cases of over speeding seemed to be beyond your control. A lawyer is of great importance to fight speeding ticket for this will not only save you time and money but as well as saving your driver’s license.

To fight a speeding ticket definitely calls for somebody to represent you to court and bespeak on your behalf however, prior to using the services of these law professionals, a careful deliberation of the type of offenses and violations laid upon you is deemed essential. If you are accused with a grave and serious offense; to fight speeding ticket asks for the service of a lawyer. There are cases where violators and delinquent drivers are confronted with a punishment of going to jail when matters of not proving your point and side of the story seemed impossible.

Another case calling to fight a speeding ticket is the time when you have already acquired too many demerits in your license. Too much demerit can mean greater offense and this becomes a major intricacy the moment your driver’s license gets suspended due to these shortcomings. Apart form this; a suspended license also entails a lot of setbacks. Firstly, you will not be allowed to drive along main roads specifically places requiring you to go to one state to another. Going to work would be a lot more taxing since you cannot drive all due to a suspended license. To put simply, convenience and expediency is no longer viable.

When you don’t know how to fight a speeding ticket, you’ll never know how much damage it can provide not only to your license but also to your records as a citizen. You will be subject to criminal charges once you lay yourself open to a violation of speeding at a 30mph or more. Just imagine how all these things will come to pass all because of a mere over speeding violation.

If going to court is what things will lead to; you can’t do anything but just to adhere to what the law asked of you. However, there are still ways to fight a speeding ticket while you’re on court. Prior to your appearance, make certain that you engage yourself in a careful study and background of your violations as well as the given offenses provided by the officer who pulled your car over. Take further notice of the citations the officer is exclaiming while testifying on court specifically those that might be off the matter. Moreover, a simple discrepancy without more ado must be called to the judge’s attention.

When the moment comes to say your piece and air your side of the story, it would be a lot more convincing when you speak in a calm and respectful manner. Any signs of arrogance will definitely resort to losing your case. However, if you know how to handle conversations, respectful of those in authority and mindful of all the answers to the judge’s queries; winning your case today is not at all difficult to accomplish.
