My question involves traffic court in the State of: MO
I was charged with violating RSMo 304.015 or "failure to drive within right lane of highway." I've been researching how to fight this ticket so I haven't pleaded not guilty yet even though the ticket is from 9 days ago. I'm moving away no later than August so I wanna get my trial going ASAP. The speedy trial rule should guarantee I'll get my trial on time, but if I have to appeal it might take too long.
I'm supposed to mail or fax my citation to the Fine Collection Center which will then send it to the county prosecutor. I don't know which county that is because the Fine Collection Center is in Cole County but I got the ticket in Callaway County and I'm in Boone County. I'm just a little worried about mail taking too long. Do they use a speedy mail service? If I send it with the envelope I was given, I don't need a stamp, right? Is email out of the question?
Here's what I have so far of my discovery request:
Public Records Request
IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF COLE COUNTY, MO
THE STATE OF MISSOURI,
Plaintiff,
vs.
MY NAME,
Defendant.
REQUEST FOR DISCOVERY
Citation Number: XXXXXXXXX
Date Issued: March 8, 2015
Citing Officer: XXXXXXX
In accordance with Missouri Rule 56.01(b)(3) regarding discovery of evidence, the above-named defendant hereby requests that you provide, to the defendant whose address is indicated below, copies of any and all relevant written or recorded statements of witnesses, including any statements, diagrams, or drawings made by the citing officer on any piece of paper—including the reverse of his/her copy of the citation—or other medium of information storage, including photo and/or video evidence.
I am requesting that the requested records be emailed to me at the following address:
emailaddress@msn.com
DATED: March 17, 2015
Signed
My Name
MY NAME
XXXXXX Street Address
Columbia, MO 65202
Tel: (XXX) XXX-XXXX
Is it out of line for me to request discovery by email? And do I need to wait until I've been notified of my court date? Will that contain more information that I need to make this request, like the court docket number, the police agency that the officer is a part of, his badge number, and the prosecuting agency?
And if I don't send the discovery request immediately, is there anything I should send along with my not guilty plea before I've been notified of a court date? A note invoking the speedy trial rule? A request to be tried by a jury?
Thank you kindly for your time!
