Woodstock VA Reckless Driving DISMISSED
Woodstock VA Reckless Driving DISMISSED
Our Woodstock VA attorneys represented a client who was charged with reckless driving for excessive speed. In this case, we developed defenses to the police RADAR device used 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 Judge granted our motion to dismiss the case.

We were able to present compelling evidence and arguments to persuade the Woodstock Court to take the case under advisement and to eventually find our client NOT GUILTY of the allegation.
