FAQ
No Expungement for Traffic Tickets: Florida law specifically excludes traffic citations from the definition of “criminal history record” that can be expunged. This means a speeding ticket, red light violation, or other moving violation will remain on your record.
If a driver violates any of the part of Florida Statute Section 318.19, he or she will required to appear in court. These possible infractions include: Driving 30 miles per hour over the speed limit. Causing an accident that results in a fatality or serious injury.
Driving less than 30 miles per hour over the speed limit is a noncriminal traffic infraction. Driving 30 or more miles over the speed limit in Florida is a traffic misdemeanor. If you're caught driving 50 or more miles over the speed limit, you will be charged with a felony traffic violation.
Common Defenses Against Speeding Tickets Inaccurate Estimation of Speed by the Officer. Questioning the Officer's Vantage Point and Conditions During the Incident. Radar and Lidar Inaccuracies. Calibration and Maintenance Records of the Device. Operator Error or Improper Use of the Device. Driving to Avoid Harm or Danger.
Court appearances are typically not required unless the infraction involved an accident, or if a child is left unattended in a vehicle. Payment of the citation can be made by mail or in person at the Traffic Violations Bureau.
Your argument should be clear, concise, and persuasive. State the reasons why you believe you should not have been charged and present any evidence that supports your case. Use specific examples and be as detailed as possible.
A judge is persuaded when an advocate presents an articulate position. To persuade, an advocate must inform. Judges are unfamiliar with the details of their cases until they hear argument. They rely on the advocate to provide the background.
Speak respectfully. Address the judge as “Your Honor” or “Judge”. Use full sentences to speak. Do not use slang like “bruh, dude, yo, wattsup, i hear ya, yup, nah” or any other words you may use with someone you usually communicate with regularly.
Start with a Clear Introduction In your introduction, clearly state the purpose of your letter. Mention that you are writing on behalf of the defendant and are requesting leniency. Be concise and to the point, and include the case number to ensure the judge knows which case you are referring to.
Don't lie about anything, not even white small lies. If you are discovered to be lying, the judge may find it hard to believe you when you are telling the truth. Don't argue with the questioner. Don't ask questions back: “What would you do if…”
