New Kent Reckless Driving DISMISSED on the merits
DISCLAIMER: Case Results Depend ON A Variety OF Factors Unique TO Each Case AND DO NOT Guarantee OR Predict A Similar Result IN ANY Future Case
Riley & Wells Attorneys represented a client who was alleged to have been in violation of the reckless driving speeding law. The Commonwealth Attorney was neither interested in reducing, dismissing nor disposing of the case thru an alternative disposition, which is possible in many cases. Therefore, in situations like these, it takes a skilled reckless driving attorney with both an extensive knowledge of how RADAR works and how to effectively cross examine a RADAR operator. A not guilty plea was entered and the trial commenced. We were able to effectively cross examine the deputy sheriff who operated the RADAR in this case and made the reckless driving allegation. We exposed the fact that the RADAR used in this particular case was not tested for accuracy with properly calibrated tuning forks, which is required by Va. Code 46.2-882. The Judge granted our defense motion to strike the Commonwealth’s case as insufficient without the defense needing to introduce evidence. The case was dismissed on the merits with no probation requirement, no driver improvement program and no community service.
