Yorktown VA Reckless Driving DISMISSED
Our Yorktown VA reckless driving attorneys represented a client charged with reckless driving for driving too fast. In this case, we developed defenses for the police RADAR device to calculate speed. A plea of not guilty was entered. We could effectively cross-examine the police officer who operated the RADAR in this case and made the reckless driving allegation. We exposed 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.
