My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Washington State
Hi, guys,
I've been reading the posts on this forum since i got my speeding ticket on Jan 1st, 2015, charging 175$, stating 46.61.400. I was driving at NB i-5, the county of Snohomish, WA. I was following the traffic, and all of sudden, a police car pulled me over (I'm from Canada, but I don't wanna be sceptical here) . Anyways, he said i was driving too fast, 80 miles in a 60 miles zone, and gave me the ticket. i didn't argue nor admit anything. After he left, i noticed that there is an error on the ticket, my car is 2010 model, but he wrote 2006, not sure if it's a "real" error to dismiss the case.
i didn't pay (part of the reason is our loonies too low nowadays) , and sent a request for contested hearing on Jan 13th. After waiting and waiting, finally i got back from the court on Feb 9th, almost a month later! (although the letter's issued on Jan 28th). In the letter, it says my hearing date is Feb 25th, and attached a blank form for written declaration, which is i plan to do so. Following the instruction of the gurus here, i faxed the discovery request precisely 14 days before my trial date, Feb 11th. The clerk was quite helpful and she confirmed that they received it.
Ok, here comes my question, i know the prosecutor must provide me with the requested documentation at least 7 days prior to the hearing date, but as i'm Canadian, it gonna take another 2-3 weeks for me to get it. In the meantime, the court must receive my written declaration at least 5 days prior to the hearing date. So, gurus, what should i do? Call the clerk for the discovery results? Will she tell? Or just send the declaration without the discovery? Please, help me with my dilemma.
Many thanks,
May
