Even though it’s a traffic citation, the same rules apply as in any other case. The police officer has to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. So, fighting a traffic ticket in PA begins with the facts of the case. What evidence does the police officer actually have? I can’t go through every possible defense, but giving a good honest look at the facts will help you determine what’s the best way to handle the traffic ticket.
Sometimes, the best route is to have a hearing and fight the traffic ticket. Other times, it’s a good strategy to try and resolve the case without a hearing. Maybe you can avoid having points on your license or you can negotiate a lesser fine.
I think that having an attorney that’s familiar with traffic tickets will help you get the best result possible.
