Under the Constitution you have a right to face your accuser in court. If the officer does not show up to give testimony and is not available for cross-examination the case should be thrown out. Some state, the Judge will take the bench and need to hear your story. No cross-examination need. This is true in Virginia.

Finding the Speeding Ticket Lawyer to Win my Case?

Many drivers do not realize that they are being seen or followed by a police officer when they hear the familiar siren behind their vehicle. They inevitably pull over and find out that they were speeding. A majority of the time drivers will receive a speeding ticket. Speeding tickets can range from under one hundred dollars to almost $500. The amount of the ticket often depends upon the jurisdiction that the ticket was written under as well as the speed that was captured when the driver was given the ticket. Many individuals who receive a speeding ticket know that they are guilty. However, they do not want to have to pay an increased insurance rate or the ticket fine. While some drivers may show up to court and be successful in fighting a ticket by themselves, some drivers need legal assistance. A speeding ticket lawyer can be helpful to individuals who are trying to fight their ticket in court. Often, speeding tickets can be disputed through a formal hearing or an informal hearing. A formal hearing involves a speeding ticket lawyer and the individual who received the ticket sitting down before a judge with the officer who wrote the ticket. This formal hearing typically happens four to six weeks after the ticket is written. Many times the officer will not appear in court and the ticket will be dismissed. Other times,. the lawyer will question the officer as to whether or not the radar gun was properly maintained. Radar gun maintenance is suggested by manufacturers but few police departments perform the procedure. Even fewer departments keep detailed records necessary to confirm maintenance in court. Some speeders are able to have their tickets cancelled or plead down to lower fines or more points. Speeding tickets lawyers may also argue a ticket down on their clients behalf. Check with a speeding ticket lawyer to see if this is a possibility with your ticket. Informal hearings often do not allow a speeding ticket lawyer to be present. However, check with your state to find out the details about the restrictions on legal council at informal hearings. The more you know, the better you will be able to defend yourself in court! Speeding ticket lawyers often can save your car insurance from increasing hundreds of dollars a year. Why not spend a fraction of that money maintaining your innocence with the help of a lawyer?
