Washington County Reckless Driving DISMISSED
WASHINGTON COUNTY Reckless Driving Dismissed
Our reckless driving lawyers defended a client accused of reckless driving for driving fast. In this case, we developed defenses to the particular RADAR device used to calculate the speed evidence. 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 motion to dismiss the case.
