this Christy Idaho painter in this video
I'm going to teach you four simple ways
how to beat your speeding ticket and I
know some of you out there wondering how
a simple painter from Boise Idaho will
teach you how to beat a speeding ticket
and I'm going to tell you right now well
a long time ago I used to be a law
enforcement officer right here in Boise
Idaho in the Treasure Valley I worked
for the Boise City Police Department and
the ADA County Sheriff's Department I've
given out hundreds of speeding tickets
and I've also gotten to court myself on
speeding tickets and vinum and now I'm
going to tell you the secrets for
secrets how you can actually beat your
speeding ticket so stay tuned right now
so here we go with the four secrets how
to beat a speeding ticket and before I
start with this I don't condone speeding
in any way or form or breaking the law
if you're speeding you are breaking the
law and you really should slow down but
there are those cases where you'll
receive a speeding ticket and I know
some of us can ask for two speeding
tickets I know some of us have got
multiple speeding tickets and if we get
another one we'll get a suspended
license or you just can't afford to have
your insurance go up so there are
reasons to fight your speeding ticket
even though you were speeding but once
again I don't condone speeding so slow
down and obey the law but here we go
with those four secrets so I'm going to
start off with secret number one and
that's one of them that most of us
already know and when discuss this
simple little secret and that's going to
court and show it up and the officer not
showing up and yes if the officer
doesn't show up the court
the speeding ticket is actually
dismissed and why would the officer not
show up to court when I was a police
officer when I'm on duty there's a lot
of things that I could get called to
that will take me away from showing up
in court for a simple little speeding
ticket that doesn't matter a whole lot
there's a lot more important things that
police officers have to take care of if
the speeding ticket is on one of my days
off the we actually got paid overtime to
show up to court so it's actually a big
incentive to go to court to testify
against a defendant when it comes to any
type of ticket so typically the officer
is always going to show up but here
again there's reasons this officer could
be on vacation or something you just
No so that's one simple way just uh
fighting the ticket and showing up the
court and the officer not showing up the
court and yes it will be dismissed so
that is secret number one
so here's secret number two and that is
finding a ticket if you're caught on
radar and I'm gonna discuss a little bit
about the radar guns and how you can
actually be the speeding ticket if
you're caught on radar and actually it's
actually quite simple and to start off
the day a police officer has could have
multiple radar guns in the vehicles and
just like any type of electronic device
they have to be calibrated or they could
be off and a speeding ticket is based on
this calibration of this device and
every single day you have to calibrate
the device that make sure it's working
properly because there's a lot of
factors that could actually make this
device not work properly so when I
started my day we use tuning forks to
actually calibrate the radar and we
would tap these tuning forks together
and those tuning forks would when you
presented them in front of the radar gun
it would give you a speed and those
tuning forks are actually calibrated to
an exact speed and if your radar gun
didn't give you the speed that the
tuning forks were then the radar gun is
not calibrated properly so every single
day you had to calibrate your radar guns
and I'll tell you as a police officer
when I work for in law enforcement
probably 90% of the time I didn't
actually to my radar guns before I
actually went out into the field and
work so if I was ever asked in court if
I calibrated my radar guns before I went
out I would have hacked actually had to
say it was an honest police officer
which I was I would say no i didnt
calibrate them and so that in itself
would create reasonable doubt whether
you're a speeding or not and reasonable
doubt is one simple way to get your
speeding ticket dismissed
so here's tip number three when it comes
to getting your speeding ticket
dismissed and this is getting right back
to radar guns if you're actually caught
on radar gone in a radar gun there's one
thing that's key about a radar gun or
radar device that's detecting your speed
and that is the angle of deflection
and when a police officer is sitting on
the side of the road and reading your
speed using a radar gun he's not
actually directly in front of you for a
radar gun to actually be 100% accurate
the object has to be coming or traveling
directly at the gun and typically an
officer is going to be sitting on the
side of the road and there's an angle
that that read that radar gun or the
device is sitting at and to actually
actually read the speed of the vehicle
or the oncoming traffic coming to the
radar gun and that is what we call the
angle of deflection and you actually
have to have that measurement of what
your angle is and there's a calculation
as a police officer that you use once
you know that angle of deflection and
you get your speed reading and you got
to go through that calculation and write
that bound and then that will give you
the true speed what is actually on the
radar gun is not the true speed until
you calculate in the angle of deflection
and I'll tell you when I was a police
officer
there wasn't one case where I ever
actually got out of my vehicle from
where my vehicle was and actually
measured where I was actually shooting
my radar gun to get that angle
deflection no no there are police
officers out there to do it and do that
calculation so give him a proper rating
but that is one simple way there's a
very high chance that the officer
couldn't present in court the angle
deflection you were asked that he only
present that the the reading of the
radar gun so once you ask it what the
angle deflection does is and he doesn't
know it that's going to create some type
of reasonable doubt that your speed
wasn't the actual speed that was on the
radar gun so reasonable doubt is a
simple way of how to get your speeding
ticket actually dismissed so bring that
up in court ask the officer what was
your angle deflection when you actually
caught me on your radar gun and see if
you can answer it I'm probably guessing
he probably won't so now on to tip
number four when it comes to beating a
speeding ticket and that's what the
radar gun and there's a few types of
radar guns out there and there's
actually a laser radar
on that wasn't very common when I was a
police officer and you've actually
looked through like a gun sight and you
could actually pinpoint one vehicle in a
group of vehicles and you can get the
actual speed of that actual vehicle but
I actually use of radar that was more
commonly used and it would actually send
out a large cone of a cone that would
actually detect oncoming objects and I
always pick up the largest object that
was coming to it so one thing you want
to know is or ask in court is are you
sure officer that my vehicle was the
largest object that was actually
approaching your vehicle or could your
radar gun have been picking up a semi
behind you or a larger truck on the side
of you at that point in time so you
definitely want to ask and question the
officer about surrounding vehicles and
who is surrounding you at that point in
time and is it possible that that radar
gun could have been picking up some
other larger object and if that officer
can't say 100% and in court without a
doubt that was picking up you that is
reasonable doubt that maybe it was
picking up another vehicle traveling
away from him or traveling to him
because it isn't actually tell you on
the radar gun is just giving you a speed
of an object that's moving away from you
or towards you so that is another way to
present reasonable doubt in front of the
court to get that ticket dismissed so
what if your ticket was actually based
on an officer's visual estimation of
your speed and not actually a radar gun
which is actually possible so when I was
a police officer I actually went through
a course that actually gave me the
ability to visually estimate vehicle
speeds and write a ticket based on
visual estimation so if there was a
ticket or you received a ticket that was
based on visual estimation you can
always take it to court and actually ask
the the officer specifically what type
of training did he actually have to give
him that ability to visual to do visual
estimations and then you want to
actually ask him how long ago that
training was and what type of
certification he got in that training
and if he can't present any type of
certification or present the fact that
he went through training to do visual
estimations maybe that in itself is
going to give you reasonable doubt or
give the judge reasonable doubt to
dismiss that ticket because the the
speed maybe he was just off on his
visual estimation of his speed so look
at the ticket itself and you want to
determine how that ticket was actually
given to you was a visual estimation was
it raised radar or maybe he's even
pacing you with a car so there's also
some other key elements when it comes to
actually radar guns that could actually
affect the radar gun and it given the
proper speed that could present
reasonable doubt when you actually go to
core and if you're in a downtown area
where there's a lot of banks or there's
devices that could affect the radar gun
there's a lot of things Bank alarm
systems or one thing that would also
wreak havoc with radar guns and stuff
like that so look at the whole
surrounding area and just look at that
and make sure to check buildings and
stuff like that
because you could go to court and
question the fact whether the radar gun
was being affected by any types of
elements or buildings or structures that
could have some type of interference
that would affect the radar gun so you
want to question the officer about that
also Kazak could present reasonable
doubt also to the judge and the court so
what if you're actually caught speeding
and you weren't caught on a radar gun or
caught in a visual estimation but you're
caught being paced by a police officer
that is if he was behind you traveling
behind you and he caught you going that
speed you can actually go into the court
system and/or into court buy your ticket
in question the validity of the officers
vehicle and whether his speedometer has
been calibrated properly so you want to
ask the officer when was the last time
the vehicle you were in had a calibrated
speedometer or when was it calibrated
he's now when I was a police officer I
never knew that in from
I was when I showed up to work I was
just assigned a vehicle that day was a
different vehicle every single day I
just jumped in that vehicle and started
driving went out and wrote tickets in a
lot of different ways by visual
estimations by radar guns and by pacing
but I didn't know 100% sure that that
speedometer was going 50 miles an hour
when it said it was going 50 miles an
hour or the vehicle is traveling that
fast so if I was if the judge asked me
or if the defendant asked me do I know
100% sure that I was my vehicle was
traveling 50 miles an hour when the
speedometer said that I would have to
say no and so that would give the judge
and the court reasonable doubt that
maybe you weren't actually going 50
miles an hour so that is another simple
way of creating reasonable doubt here's
another simple tip when it comes to
speeding tickets also that are in
regards to excessive speed and excessive
speed was when I was working as anything
20 miles an hour over the speed limit
and that is a lot higher but I it
actually cost more points on your
driving record and if you do fight one
of those tickets I would say probably 95
percent of the time that people went to
court the prosecutors and the officer we
didn't want to sit there and go in front
of a judge because nobody has a time we
just we all the prosecutors are always
trying to negotiate deals and drop
charges down to lower charges so they'll
try to work a deal with you so they can
just get it done get you out you let the
officer go and so excessive speeding
tickets will always be dropped down to
or typically always be dropped down to
just a regular infraction which isn't
nearly the point to what which isn't
nearly the money so that's a simple way
of saving you some money and saving you
some money or saving you some points on
your driving record makes your prior to
going to court you have your whole plan
of attack actually knocked out and you
really need to go to the site of where
you actually got the ticket you should
determine where that police officer was
sitting at that point in time so you can
actually measure the angle of deflection
you want to research that on the engine
what the angle of the flexion is so you
can measure it out you want to be able
to go to the court system draw up a map
where the officer sitting were with you
when you actually were caught on radar
and you definitely need to come up and
try to remember what vehicles were
around you that could have distorted his
radar or that he could have been picking
up and not you so you want to make sure
you have all that stuff detailed out
knocked out in your mind or on a piece
of paper so you go extremely prepared
just going to court doesn't mean you're
going to get your ticket dismissed you
got to be prepared and you got to be
ready for the fight being professional
is going to be one key element when it
comes to fighting your ticket in court
when you go to court you definitely want
to dress your best you don't want to go
and just raggy street clothes you want
to try to dress up in a suit and type
you can look neat and clean you want to
respect the judge respect the officer
there and respect the court system and
talk politely and answer questions and
ask questions politely in a respectful
manner well hope you've enjoyed this
simple video on how to beat a speeding
ticket and once again I don't condone
speeding it's better that you just ride
the speed limit it's safer for my kids
and it's safer for your kids and it's
safer for yourself so slow down but if
you get a ticket don't forget you can
beat that ticket in court if you have
any more tips or tricks then I present
it right here just leave them in the
comments below it has been a long time
since I've been a police officer so I
know there's going to be some things
that have changed when it comes to radar
guns or methods of how to beat speeding
tickets I would like to read a bottom
and so with my subscribers I'm sure so
just leave them right in the comments
below and thanks again for watching my
