Caught Speeding? Beat Speed Camera Offenses
They Always Said You Had a Heavy Foot - Just Wait Until You See Ours
We all get in a hurry once in a while, but sometimes there’s a good reason, such as a medical emergency or other personal need. Often the police won’t bother to ask, and intimidation certainly plays a role in your response when pulled over for a traffic offence. If you’ve been caught by a camera, you may not have even had a chance to explain.
Technology has changed the way speeding ticket fines are determined, and yet the police have specific instructions for using hand held or other radar guns and detection devices. If all appropriate procedures were not followed, you may not be responsible for paying your fines. Let the experts at Kydon Segal Lawyers join your team, and watch us put our foot down on the facts and help you reduce your liabilities.
Getting Caught By the Camera
You may think that because you were caught by a camera you have no defense. That is simply not true. Motorists in Australia are protected against unlawful entrapment by requirements that state that police vehicles must be well marked and in full sight to allow motorists the opportunity to comply with the posted speeds.
If the camera used in your situation was concealed or otherwise not clearly marked, or if you were caught at night by a camera shooting at you head-on, your case just might possibly be thrown out. There are hundreds of rules put in place to protect motorists and to help defend you against unlawful charges. Our staff has the guidelines, manuals and documents that will support your situation and assist you in beating your ticket in court.
At Kydon Segal Lawyers, our team of professionals includes experts on both Radar and Lidar, and our experience in court has shown that law enforcement officials don’t always use the equipment they’ve been issued correctly. In a court of law, this fact can help your case. If you are facing habitual offender charges or more serious matters, you definitely need expert counsel.
