10 Tips For Traffic Court

If you're unfortunate to have gotten a traffic ticket, keep the following
tips in mind, your chances of getting it kicked out are much greater:

1. Do not be argumentative.
2. Don’t bring your own opinion or arguments
to convince the judge.
3. Stick to the facts.
4. Repeat I am not an
attorney I don’t understand.
5. Don’t object and press a particular point
more than twice.
6. Stay on point.
7. Only accept responsive answers to
questions.
8. Ask questions
9. Get judge and, or the prosecutor to commit
to positions.
10. Use those positions/arguments against the judge or
prosecutor.
1.  Traffic courts are scams run by people only interested
in taking money.  They are not in place to administer justice.  Being
argumentative only ensures you will be separated from your money.  Going in
thinking justice is being administered is to start off on the wrong foot.
Any traffic court judge interested in administering justice would throw out the
majority of traffic tickets within minutes of them being filed by the police and
mail an apology to each defendant for their time wasted on the traffic stop.

2.  Traffic court judges don’t care what we think, except of course
what we think is the easiest and fastest way to pay the court fine.  We are
considered guilty the moment the cop decides to write the ticket.  Traffic
court is about making it look good and the judge is always going to be perceived
as correct and you wrong.  After all, he’s judge.  But, we can get the
judge to contradict himself.  If an argument or opinion is used, it should
always be the judge’s.

3.  Sticking to the facts is the fastest and
most effective way to demonstrate there is no case.  Just asking a couple
of questions is usually enough to have the only witness against you declared
incompetent which requires his testimony, including the ticket, to be
stricken.  Keep in mind that impeaching the only witness does not mean a
judge will strike the testimony and throw the ticket out.

4.
All non-lawyers are legally incapable of defending themselves and it is unfair
to put someone on trial who does not understand the nature and cause of the
proceedings against them.  The more the judge explains about what is going
on, the more can be used to make him contradict himself and prove there is no
case.

5.  This is related to number one.  If I keep pressing a
point the judge is only going to get angry and judges are notorious for having
anger management problems.  Remember, traffic court judges do not
care.  One thing they care about is making the robbery look good.
Don’t help him make it look good.

6.  Lawyers, with and without
those flowing black robes, are masters of diversion.  Never forget their
goal is not getting to the truth and administering justice, it’s about getting
the money you worked hard to earn.  If they get you off-point, they win;
your attention on real issues is gone and before you know it the proceeding is
over.

7.  Only accepting responsive answers keeps things on
point and works to destroy the appearance of a case.  Beware though, know
in advance what is responsive to the question.  Bureaucrats are very good
at giving what may appear to be responsive answers; they may sound good, but
they are not responsive.  A good example is “Factually, what is the
constitution?” and the bureaucrat answers with: “It’s the supreme law of the
law.”  It sounds impressive, but it’s not responsive to the question.
A responsive answer is devastating to a bureaucrat’s case.  I have several scripts available I have used in court
successfully.

8.  One tactic judges, lawyers and bureaucrats use to
divert attention away from what they are doing is to accuse people of
“arguing.”  This is an attempt to make anyone in court look bad, as if
we’re the problem and not the traffic court.  By just asking questions, we
can point out we not arguing, just asking questions.  From experience, this
is very embarrassing for the individual accusing me of arguing.  Asking
questions is also incredibly effective at demonstrating there is no case,
provided of course, we stay on point and only accept responsive
answers.

9. Traffic court judges do not care if you think they have
violated the constitution or the law.  But, because their main job is to
make robbing people look good, traffic court judges do not like to contradict
themselves.  To do this, I ask questions to get the judge to commit to
certain positions e.g., “Am I entitled to be informed of the nature and cause of
the charges and proceedings?” and “Am I entitled to a fair hearing?”
Because the very nature of traffic courts is unfair, it’s easy to get the judge
to contradict himself.

10.  The judge’s and prosecutor’s positions
can always be used to get them to contradict themselves later.  As with the
first question above, after a few more questions the judge will say, “I’m not
here to answer your questions.”  I just have to then remind him he already
told me I was entitled to be informed.  Also, by asking just a couple of
questions, I’ve had judges declare a witness competent, incompetent and then
competent again in only a few minutes.  By contradicting himself like that,
all pretense of fairness is gone.

One of the most valuable pieces of
information you can learn about traffic courts and bureaucrat attacks is this:
A ticket/complaint is not synonymous with a case.  Of
course a traffic court judge will disagree with this, his object is not truth
and justice, it’s taking money away from people.

Remember, just because a
cop writes a ticket does not mean he has presented a case before a court.
No court has the “legal” authority to proceed against someone unless a case is
presented to it, this is just a short list of the “authorities” to prove
it.  However, traffic court judges are interested only in getting your
money, so things like the “law” do not interest them.  I discuss this in
detail in my book Adventures in Legal Land, in several articles and on my radio show The No State Project.  There are also archived radio shows
I’ve appeared on here and a new video series here about beating traffic tickets
.

Marc Stevens is an author, consultant and radio show
host.  He is an expert on the nature of the court system, his
groundbreaking book Adventures in Legal Land rips the veil of
legitimacy from the “state” and exposes it for what it is, a public relations
scheme.  Using their own words against them, Marc Stevens proves there is
no state.  You can listen to his radio show The No State Project live every
Saturday on We the People Radio
Network.
