Vehicle search
All right, BelizeBreeze might not be the most tactful of individuals :eek: But he is correct. The officer asked for permission to search and your boyfriend gave consent. That is all that is required. If your boyfriend had said no, the officers may not have had enough for a search. Yes...- fedcop110

Radar
There are some states that the officer must show the target speed readout if the motorist requests, but those states are becoming fewer and farther between. I know in Virginia I am not required to show you the readout. Also in any exclusive federal jurisdiction I am not required (the federal...- fedcop110

Conflicting state laws re. school buses......
You are absolutely correct. There are many differences in state law throughout the country. I don't understand what you are getting at however. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. This is a rather blunt way of saying it but it is correct. Simply not knowing the traffic laws in the area you...- fedcop110

Technacility (sp?)
Well you see, in Kansas, they are far behind the rest of the world. They don't have Domestic Violence laws. They just convict on whatever statute would be close in the law books. :)- fedcop110

"A Deal with the Prosecuting Attorney"?
I have never heard of such a thing in Federal court. You will be going to a federal magistrate court. It is the US District courthouse, but will be appearing in front of a magistrate unless you request a jury or district court judge hearing. You would need to talk to the Assistant United...- fedcop110

CA: Informal Discovery Request before Plea?
As far as the tracking history for stationary radar, all that the officer needs to be able to testify to is that he visually observed you speeding, received audio confirmation from the radar and verified you speed in the target window of the radar. As Carl stated, all that the officer needs to...- fedcop110

License Plate Covers?:VA
This is directly from VSC 46.2-716: B. No colored glass, colored plastic, or any other type of covering shall be placed, mounted, or installed on or over any license plate if such glass, plastic, or other type of covering in any way alters or obscures (i) the alpha-numeric information, (ii) the...- fedcop110

PA need to be opposite of TOO NICE
In VA, allowing an unlicensed person to operate a motor vehicle is a class 1 misdemeanor (up to a $2500 fine and up to 12 months in jail). You would have to give me the statute that you were charged with for any additional info, but I assume that PA is similar. It sounds as if you have learned...- fedcop110

CA: Informal Discovery Request before Plea?
Carl explained things pretty well already. I will add that your vehicle does not need to be targeted in the main lobe of the radar. Yes the main lobe is where the signal is strongest, however as the cone spreads out even the vehicles that are picked up in the side lobes can be prosecuted, as...- fedcop110

Cited for underage possession
As best as I can tell, you were charged with GS 18B-302 (b) underage possession of malt beverages or unfortified wine. If that is the case...you are looking at a class 3 misdemeanor. From what I can tell if you are convicted the court does not file a report to the DMV unless you were...- fedcop110

Reckless Charge on Dulles Toll Road
I doubt that in court the officer will say I have a feeling that he will be professional and articulate. I would suggest a lawyer. Going to court and saying "Yes, I may have been going 100mph in a 35 mph zone, but the officer had no way to know that" normally doesn't work. A reckless...- fedcop110

PA Stop sign- I stopped! He couldn't see!
This is a little off topic but here goes...You may have run the stop sign you may not have, I don't know I wasn't there. I am more concerned about your statement that your daughter has lost respect for the police due to this incident. This is the same thing that happens when I walk into the...- fedcop110

dui on federal land
Racer83 is partly correct. State criminal law is enforced on all federal property by virtue of the United States Code. The Assimilated Crimes Act (18 U.S.C. 13) is used mostly for traffic offenses and for other criminal laws that are not covered under state law. For example, the United States...- fedcop110

Cop with lights off on the ramp in MD
No, the officer did not violate any laws. Were you speeding? If so, why not accept guilt and pay the ticket. I know that this is a novel idea but some people actually do it. If you do not believe you were speeding, then appear in court and contest the citation. Pretty easy.- fedcop110

MN: 80 in a 55, unsafe conditions checked, worth a lawyer's time?
unsafe conditions was probably the 80mph speed. In VA 80mph is reckless driving regardless of the speed of the road. If you have proof that your speedometer was off X amount of miles per hour then you may have a chance of getting your ticket downgraded, but I doubt it (and by proof, I mean...- fedcop110

Warning received
An entry? It sounds like the officer was checking VCIN/NCIC to make sure that you were licensed and/or did not have any outstanding warrants. There is not some magic computer that we use. If you didn't get a ticket, you are good to go.- fedcop110

Ticket in VA from MD
46.2-870 is simply speeding. The officer would have had to charge you with 46.2-862 if it were to be reckless for speed. Consider yourself lucky and either pay or appear.- fedcop110

Arrested for OWI while in a store
I agree with Carl. If there is a witness that saw you operating the vehicle, the officer can testify that you admitted being impaired, and the vehicle was registered to you, you may be sunk. I see that you have already contacted a lawyer and he said that if you can't find the actual operator...- fedcop110

Speeding ticket in Maryland
I was asking for the statute number that is written on the ticket. Something that would correspond with the state traffic code. It sounds like if the exceeding the maximum speed limit was checked and not the reckless driving, that he was only charged with speeding. In any case your best bet...- fedcop110
