Traffic Tickets: Understanding Your Defense Options
If you have received a traffic ticket in Maryland, it can be tempting to just pay the fine and move on. However, paying a traffic ticket can have long-lasting consequences, including increased insurance rates and points on your driver’s license. At the Law Office of Rowena N. Nelson, LLC, our experienced traffic ticket attorneys are committed to helping drivers understand their legal options and fight against traffic ticket charges in Maryland.
Common Defenses Against Traffic Tickets
Some of the common defenses used against traffic tickets include:
- Technical Defenses. These are based on the procedures used by law enforcement officers during a traffic stop. If the officer made a mistake in the procedures or failed to follow protocol, this could serve as a defense against a traffic ticket.
- Mistaken Identity. If you were not the driver of the vehicle at the time of the alleged offense, this could serve as a defense against a traffic ticket.
- Lack of Probable Cause. If the officer did not have probable cause to pull you over, this could serve as a defense against a traffic ticket.
- Improper Equipment. If the equipment used by the officer, such as a radar gun, was not calibrated properly, this could serve as a defense against a traffic ticket.
- Constitutional Violations. If the officer violated your constitutional rights during a traffic stop, this could serve as a defense against a traffic ticket.
