Newport News VA Reckless Driving DISMISSED
Newport News VA Reckless Driving DISMISSED
Our reckless driving lawyers represented a client accused of reckless driving excessive speed. In this case, we developed defenses to the RADAR device used by police to calculate speed. A plea of not guilty was entered. We were able to effectively cross examine the police officer who operated the RADAR in this case and made the reckless driving allegation. We exposed the fact that the RADAR used in this particular case was not tested for accuracy with properly calibrated tuning forks, which is required by Va. Code 46.2-882. The Court granted our motion to dismiss the case.
