Answered 10 years and 8 months ago by Jeffrey D. Stearman (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Traffic Violations
Generally no. The courts are a Judicial branch of the goverment and DMV is a Administrative branch and basically have their own rules. However, you should be able to file an "appeal" with DMV so a supervisor can review the decision and can overturn the ruling if they desire.  Jeffrey D. Stearman,Esq. Law Office of Jeffrey D.

Handling a citation for Public Urination

Answered 13 years and 10 months ago by Jeffrey D. Stearman (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Traffic Violations
You may want to appear in court to fight the citation. It is most likely an infraction if you can simply pay the fine.

if the officer didn''t check the box above his name stating that the information was true, could I use this in court?

Answered 13 years and 10 months ago by Jeffrey D. Stearman (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Traffic Violations
Generally, by checking the box and signing his name, the officer is making his declaration. Under law, it may be an invalid declaration and you can object at trial. However, if the officer appears in court, the court may just let him testify to the facts after being sworn in. I have filed motions based upon this and the results depends on the Judge and if you lose, whether or not you want to appeal the decision.
