Fight Your Traffic Ticket In California - Save Loads Of Money - Tutorial

From what I've heard, you're very unlikely to beat any tickets in Marin, as jdhu said.

Thanks for the update, I was afraid you, & jdhu, were gonna say that...

That's how I view it. Make them work for their money.

On side note, funny story about requesting a new judge. I did it once, and the traffic case was dumped in to criminal court. Needless to say much hilarity ensued with a lot of "But this is a traffic case."

Be careful with that. Criminal court judges don't want to waste their time with that and will usually find people guilty at the drop of a hat

That's actually pretty cool. At least it prevents the commissioner from acting as both judge and prosecutor.

And, you might actually get a response to your discovery request.

Discovery request is pre-trial

Discovery request is pre-trial

So, that's why is called the discovery portion of the trial! (I'm kidding)

My point is that your evidence officer usually ignores formal discovery requests.

And, filing a motion to compel on the judge's hearing calendar is not entirely well received, besides being a PITA.
