Hello,
Today i went to trial for a speeding ticket in Pennsylvania (53 mph in a 25 mph zone). I lost. However, i found that the judge made some mistakes when accepting the cop's prove of certificate of the device used (a tracker). These are the mistakes i think were done:
1- The calibration certificate was a copy. When i said that an original should be presented, the judge asked the cop if it was an original copy, he said yes, and the judge said it was OK for him...
2- The cop didnt bring any certificate that indicates that the speed timing device is approve by the bureau. When i asked for it as indicated in 41 Pa B. 7042, the judge argued that is not required by law and that HE certifies that the device is approved...
In PA this fine involve 5 points in your license. I don't know if i should appeal in superior court or leave as is. Also, if i appeal, would i have to hire an attorney?
Thanks a lot in advance.
