And for the record, they aren't loopholes. They are a manipulation of the ignorance of your general driver, and the advantageous nature by which the officers rake money into the states/municipality's coffers.Leave a comment:

I have fought my own tickets along with many friends and family through mail already with positive results. Its a right allowed for common citizens for common CVC infractions (speeding, red light, stop sign, disobeying a traffic sign, etc.).Leave a comment:

No, if you read my previous posts, you'll see that that is not required for one to fight a traffic violation. Anyone can do it, it's just that not everyone has the time, information and/or compulsion to do so.
There are various legal reasons to be going above the posted maximum speed (which is the term used on highway signs) in the state of California.Leave a comment:

I was going 65 on highway 17. I was thinking about fighting it. Even though i was in a 50 zone, half mile out from the 65 mph marker.Leave a comment:

I basically have all the CVC codes and knowledge at hand to present a clear, concise, intelligent and effective argument to the judge. I would describe how but then I'd be shooting myself in the foot haha.

I will quote the very laws he says you violated and use his information he put (or not) in the citation against him. Its not in front of the court, I have no license to represent anyone in court. But its completely legal to represent "yourself" by mail. Usually all speeding tickets get written under a blanket citation thats very vague and has many angles to argue against.Mariano, I respect what you're doing here, and it's totally legal, but are you saying you will go stand in front of a judge and an ADA and argue for the person who hires you? Or will you merely coach the as to what angles/ procedures you have used to get leniency/ dismissal in the past?
Precisely.I believe hes promoting the Trial By Declaration option.
You can type up this declaration and send it in by mail. So he won't be showing up to court. Its a great way to fight a ticket.Anyone can do this but if you aren't a good writer or are lazy you can have someone else do it for you. (his service) The better you can write this declaration and the more you know about the loopholes in each violation will give you an advantage.
Btw, I did the same thing as your buddy. I simply wrote "not guilty" sent it in and got my money back.
30% chance the officer doesn't reply especially since he doesn't get paid for it.
Sorry, man. My lifes been hectic since I last was on here what with two kids and the economy what it is.
Do so!! Its worth it!!
As to me revealing too much, I was never a good businessman. But the part I did not reveal is the specific ways to quote and use the basic speed law against the offcicer. For instance the way and amount that the speed limits are imposed and arrived at. All this (in greater detail, of course0 is more footwork the cop has to do on his own time.
Thanks for the interest. ;-)

Great information, spot on brother.
Don't take this the wrong way, but you kind of "gave up" your ace in the hole for making a profit and taking on clients with how much information you posted. Anyone can research the given information and perform it step by step (as you already spelled out) on their own. I don't doubt it that you have plenty of knowledge and experience in this, and it very well may be of some assistance to some (those in the dark when it comes to the law) but it's a hard sell to "represent" someone over the internet.
Don't get me wrong! The original post contains excellent information and advice many are unaware of, and as you said, most just grab their ankles and pay the fine. I've personally done it twice myself (front licence plate ticket and a stop sign ticket) by contesting them via written declaration...and I won twice.
Edit: You covered this in a much more humorous way, I missed it.
One thing I might add is officers LOVE going to court for this stuff. They get paid to drive (x) amount of miles to the county court, sit in a chair for (x) amount of hours chuckling at other people's cases, own you in court, and then leave...pretty easy day huh? From what I've seen, heard, and experienced- I wouldn't bet on them not showing up. Also, if it's a particularly "bad" ticket (you all know what I mean) they'll show up indefinitely to make sure you suffer the consequences. When getting my second 50mph in a 35mph speeding ticket (within the same week)...(on the same road) the officer said at the end "I dare you to contest this; my biggest pet peeve is fuckers like you that don't learn, and you're the reason I'm out here. I promise I'll waste your time in court. I'll remember you, your bright red BMW, and that you didn't learn anything a week ago from the exact same ticket." I paid my dues...that I deserved...and knew this officer wasn't playing around. A cop's word will override anyone's in front of a judge-any day. You pretty much don't stand a chance.
On the other hand, they don't get paid to write a rebuttal letter in response to your written declaration- so you have a better chance of them just brushing it off. (Why it's the best option) It's simply just more paperwork for them, a hassle, going through notes, the report, etc. Trial by Written Declaration is always worth a try IMO, the time spent on a well written letter could potentially save you hundreds of dollars.
(Relates to opportunity cost. An hour writing a letter v. grabbing your check book is well worth the try.)
Lucky for me my mother's an attorney. She's helped me get fines reduced/dropped, tickets dropped, points reduced/dropped, etc. I also credit her to helping me win two separate automobile accident cases in court (me being the plaintiff). The system does work, you just have to give it a chance! I'm at a 100% rate so far...for those I've fought.Last edited by Rsully70sev; 10-12-2012, 01:58 AM.Leave a comment:

Damn man. I don't even live in cali. But, I know Mariano is a good enough writer to get me to read a post like that. I am going to look into this in my state.
My favorite part was the "plain" and "fancy" donut calculation numbers. Hahahaha, I lol'd at that.Leave a comment:
