4.0 out of 5 stars
Definitely worthwhile reading,
By A Customer
This review is from: Traffic Ticket Defense (Paperback)
I recently received a speeding ticket that was unfair (aren't they all?) and had to go to court. This book helped me understand what to expect and offered some interesting ideas for defending myself. It demystified the court process for me and relieved my anxiety quite a bit.A lot of the book assumes that the person reading it is ticked off by the arrogance of the cop who ticketed him and wants to get even. If this is your case, you will probably enjoy this book, and you might even be successful in embarrassing the officer who ticketed you. There is also some helpful advice in the beginning of the book about what to say and do if you are stopped. I wish I'd had this all in my mind when I was stopped. I skimmed four books on defending one's self in traffic court. As my court date approached, I decoded this one was the most useful of the four and I read it in detail. Of course, not everything the author says applies to every state or every county, but I think the author makes pretty clear what is part of usual operating procedures and what you may or may not see as part of courtroom procedures when you are being tried.

Screw unto others as they screw unto you.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Traffic Ticket Defense (Paperback)
This book is hilarious. It instructs you that, once you are stopped, the traffic court will find you guilty 90% of the time regardless of how impeccable your defense. The book does a good job of setting these expectations, and redirecting your goals. Sure, the system is an unfair game designed to take your money. However, the system is a game nonetheless, and you may as well have fun playing it.A cop pulled me over in Brandon, Mississippi for speeding 10 miles above the speed limit. The cop didn't know exactly how fast I was going, so he wrote me a "Careless Driving" ticket. In Mississippi, the careless driving statute is worded so vaguely that there exists no effective defense against it. Calls to several lawyers as I prepared to fight the charges confirmed this fact. So I bought this book and prepared to fight the charges myself rather than spend $250-500 on an attorney. I still lost in court, but had the most fun for $82 dollars that I have ever had in my life. Not only did the cop perjure himself several times, but by the end of the trial, the prosecutor was literally screaming at the judge, screaming at me, his face was fire engine red, his hands were shaking, and his closing arguments were nothing more than how he wasn't going to stand for this from someone who's not even a lawyer. I have only two suggestions for the book. The book suggests seeking legal resources at the library. However, State Code and State Supreme Court case law is available online these days, and this book should really instruct the reader on how to find these resources. Secondly, while I realize that the author is attempting to provide only an outline of general traffic defense methods, the author also claims to have tried several thousand traffic cases. A few more real-world examples would have done wonders for this book.

Required reading for any driver.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Traffic Ticket Defense (Paperback)
This book gives an excellent overall view of the traffic court system and how to beat it. If you have ever wanted to fight a traffic ticket this book will help. The author gives detailed examples of how to fight a traffic ticket for the time its written to the final judgement of not guilty. The book focuses on the steps the court must follow to get a conviction and how you can upset the process to your advantage and exploit the courts flaws. Written in an easy to understand language the author does not bog the reader down with difficult legal terms only lawers would understand. Instead an easy step by step process is laid out for the reader to follow right down to the questions that should be asked in court. The author also provides detailed examples of cout testimony for cases ranging from speeding tickets to running red lights. After reading the book you'll feel stupid for ever having paid a fine, even if you were guilty Don't just pay up when you get your next ticket buy this book and learn how to fight it and win
