I'm sharing with you today some strategies and steps to fight tickets in court. Courts vary from city to city, but in general speeding & traffic tickets work the same way. This is a very creative approach, and can often leave the judge and police officer stunned when you present these facts. You can save a lot of money by representing your own case in court, but you assume all the risks involved.

1. The first thing you do is go to the county clerks office and ask to see the oath of office for the police officer who issued you the speeding ticket or any other ticket. The officer's name will be on the ticket.

The clerk should have the officer's oath of office on file. Also while you are there ask for the municipal Judge' s oath of office.

If the officer DOES NOT have an oath of office, then you can bring this up in court.

2. When you get to the court, dress nice. Though legally this has no impact, it can make a better impression on a judge. There will probably be a lot of people in line, to make a plea on their tickets and speeding tickets. When you get to the judge do not plea yet even though they will seem like you want to. Say "I want to make sure this is a court that is under the United States constitution right?" The judge will most likely answer yes. This single question is the first real step in getting your ticket dismissed.

3. Ask the judge if you have the right to a fair trial by a jury of your peers as stated in the constitution. At this point the judge will most likely answer yes because a ticket is a criminal offense. The judge may seem puzzled by your questions or pursue you to plea. DO NOT plea.

4. Ask the judge if he/she thinks that you will have a fair trial if there is a conflict of interest against you in the court room.

The judge will either answer "No" or say "what conflict of interest?". If they say "what conflict of interest" I would pursue the question again. "I am positive in this court room there is a large conflict of interest against me, do you think I will have a fair trial in such a case, if you do not, I will show you the evidence of my statement".

At this point the judge will most likely answer "No, not if there is a conflict of interest against you". With a conflict of interest, the court would have no right to give you a trial for a speeding ticket, any ticket, or any criminal offense.

5. Ask the judge "Who do you represent".
They will say "I represent the State of _________"

At this point, take out the original speeding ticket or ticket, and say, "then I find that there is a tremendous conflict of interest here in this court. As the prosecution on my ticket is the "State of _________" which is the same entity as what you the judge represents by your own admission".

Basically the judge will see that the prosecutor (the cop) has the same representation in the court as the judge. Both "The State of _______"

This IS indeed a conflict of interest against you as a fair trial that they said you would have as mandated in the constitution. Pull out their oaths of office and tell them both that they have "Sworn to Protect and Defend the Constitution" and any act of giving you an unfair trial would be an act of Perjury against their oaths. Demand at this point your ticket be dismissed with prejudice.

6. If the cop or Judge do not have an oath of office from step 1, especially the cop, when you are up for trial, tell the judge that the officer has no oath of office as mandated by the constitution thus he is not a legal officer and your speeding ticket or ticket is invalid. Immediately demand it to be dismissed with prejudice. This dismissal will make sure that your speeding ticket or ticket will never be on your record or come up for trial again.
