Which court? Everett Division of the District Court? Also, which agency stopped you? WSP has dash cameras but you’ll probably have to be quick about demanding the footage. Even then, the camera may have been “malfunctioning” or deleted already because it’s not a criminal stop.

Feel free to dm.

Remember to move to dismiss when the officer doesn't show.

Or you can try in the cascades too! Tons of great stars in Leavenworth, Cle Elum area…anywhere far from a ton of light!

Well, when we’re good at something, we like to share.

It’s $30. Pay up or take your chances. The ticket is $99 so there is your risk/reward data to make a decision.

I used a wipe board marker, I’ll keep that option in mind.

One day I went from Western WA to Eastern WA to go trout fishing and on the way home I got a speeding ticket I wanted to get out of.

I went to the website www.nolo.com for legal information (and not just random people’s opinions). Here’s what I learned and how I beat it:

A ticket is like any other legal proceeding and you are entitled to due process. That means the same rules that apply to any trial apply here. Specifically, you have the right to see any evidence the prosecution has (called discovery). So I immediately sent a letter to the prosecutor (this was in Kittatas County) via certified mail (so I would have proof they received it). I requested copies of the traffic report or any write up by the officer or other evidence.

I also read that you should always take a ticket without making a big deal out of it so you are not memorable (I blew that part). As for requesting reports on the model and calibration of the radar gun, my fuzzy memory is they usually calibrate daily so this can be a waste of time/effort and just piss a judge off.

The prosecutor has 30 days to reply. My court date was something like 31 days after the letter was received so I was cutting it close. But I never got a reply by my court date.

I went to court and when it was my turn I asked for the case to be dismissed because the prosecutor had failed to reply to my request for discovery. I gave the judge a copy of my letter and the documentation they had received it (printed off the USPS website). No officer was present. Case dismissed

Wipe board marker. The other method I used was to tuck it where the black of the windshield would block the plate. I was allowed to use a company rig for personal use, but I would end up with different trucks throughout the year.

If you want to use it on three vehicles, you will need to buy two passes.

You can't use one pass for three vehicles. And to be perfectly clear, you can only use one pass for one vehicle at a time.

They probably asked a bunch of guys and with the rule of three this brings it down to 17.5 ish. And let’s be honest, Washington guys are prone to embellish a lot so it’s more like 3, give or take 2.

Aww, that’s a good looking adventure pup! My partners dog is blind, which makes hiking/backpacking a challenge (read: we carry him in a pack!)

I wish I could volunteer, but that’s SOOO far out, we have no idea if we’d even be around the region then!

Pencil works fine, but I left mine blank all last year with no problems. Actually, I usually forget to even get it out of the glove box and never received a ticket.

As someone that grew up in the area, please be respectful of private property and ask for permission vs trespassing. While the buildings may not be in use, the properties are nearly always on active farm ground and you can damage crops (and your vehicle or yourself) by trespassing.

$99 fine, to be exact.

Have you gotten a ticket here before? If not, then I would recommend getting it deferred. In 2020, I got pulled over on I5 and sent it in with a request to defer it. It ended up getting completely tossed out due to lack of evidence. It was similar in the sense that the officer quickly pulled me over and issued the ticket. I don’t think he accurately clocked my speed either.

Once you get to court request a deferment. This will keep it off your record if you have no other infractions for a period of time (I think it's one year).

I do feel like I get alot in this state where others are staving for coochie

A few times I’ve forgotten to write in any plate numbers, and have never been cited. But we don’t often visit busy parks in the high season. If you want to game the system, you could leave it blank and hope the ranger would let you write in at the time (if caught in-person). That said, if you can afford it, it’s $35 to buy a second pass, and the parks can use the $$. We currently have three vehicles so have two passes.

Yeah, this story really doesn't pass a sanity check. I feel like I'd need to try to get a ticket around here, so it's really difficult to imagine that the OP just got pulled over for no reason at all.

Use a Pilot Frixion pen or marker. They'll look like an actual pen but you can erase it at any time.

What is the algorithmic center of Washington State? Cashmere?

I used to do infractions for many years as a criminal defense lawyer but no longer. They are very easy to win. If it was sno co call my friend Rick Merrrill.

Related: I was once pulled over in an old beater for reportedly going 92 MPH. I respectfully asked the officer to look at my car and tell me if he really thought it could go that fast (it would vibrate like crazy by 70, so, no). I didn’t get the speeding ticket but of course he cited me for a non-working tail light instead. Just saying they definitely make mistakes. Contest it.

I once chatted with a guy who was an attorney on the list for Microsoft employees - apparently low-level representation is an included benefit there? Anyway, he said he dealt with this kind of thing all the time and was almost always successful in getting them dismissed. So even if your employer doesn’t offer this, it’s probably worth finding a lawyer. It might cost a bit but hopefully less than the ticket. Good luck!

Its only for two vehicles per household,yes you have to write plate # but you can buy additional for other cars
