Costs?

With this type of appeal what costs are associated? I understand that if I loose I would have to pay for representation and the original ticket cost, but can there be other court imposed costs?

I'm trying to decide if it is worth while to take an offer from the prosecution, or continue with this appeal.


Thanks again.....

NOTE: Special thanks ...

Am I dooing the right thing?

Wow!

I originally decided to take this case on as a sort of science experiment, since I was curious how our justice system works. Everyone seems to cave in and just pay the fines, but I thought lets learn somthing for the cost of the fine. When the case was dismissed, I thought "oh my god" this system is a joke!

Thinking I may have bit off more ...

Re: prosecution appeal - Only to avoid precedent

It is most likely that the prosecutor is appealing the dismissal of the charge only out of principle. Probably the prosecutor will not proceed with the charge against you.

You may contact the prosecutor and ask if they will be looking for a) a new trial, b) a conviction or c) just a court order.

In any event, for what you disclose the chances of ...

Re: Prosecutor appealing my dismissal

I had asked for a copy of the officers training records in my disclosure, and they did not provide it. At the trial I cross examined the officer and asked if he was qualified, and where is the documentation to support the qualification. He replied he was qualified, and he had proof in his file. The justice agreed that there was nothing presented to ...

Hi all,
I have utilized some of the information provided by this forum to successfully get a dismissal for a speeding ticket last year. The ticket was for 134 in a 100, and the dismissal was granted based on a lack of training & qualification of the officer. The justice agreed that the prosecution did not disclose any documentation to suport the ...
