What am I supposed to do if my NYC ticket was never put into the system? I got a speeding ticket in October 2019, and almost a year and a half has passed but it still does not show up. I also misplaced the ticket because I had forgotten about it. What should I do?
Can I get a supporting deposition for an NYC TVB moving-violation ticket? I asked the DMV/TVB how to request one and was told their tickets do not use supporting depositions and that it would be handled between me, the officer, and the judge. Is that correct? I assumed I could find out the officer's version before the hearing so I could prepare, but maybe that is just TV-law stuff. In 2018, I was ticketed for speeding 11 to 30 mph over the limit on a two-lane road leading to a highway posted at 50 mph. The officer said the road was 25 mph, but I did not see any signs showing that when I was stopped. I took photos, and a sign has since been put up. It is a four-point ticket, and I feel it was unfair because there was no speed-limit sign on a road leading to the highway.
A supporting deposition is not available as a matter of right for traffic tickets issued in New York City.
I got an NYC speeding ticket in 2015 for going 10 to 30 over the limit. The hearing has now been pushed to September 2021. Can I get it thrown out because it has taken so long to go to trial?
A speedy-trial argument will not result in dismissal here. A lawyer may appear in court for you and use other legal strategies to seek a dismissal.
Can I get a NYC speeding ticket thrown out because my hearing has been rescheduled over and over for almost three years? I was ticketed in September 2020 for going 38 mph in a 25 mph zone. I entered a not-guilty plea, but the court date keeps being pushed back, and it is now set for June 2023. Does the repeated delay provide a basis to dismiss the ticket?
No. Delays like this are quite common. A lawyer can appear in court for you and contest the speeding charge.
