If you are reading this blog post, there is a good chance
that you received a speeding ticket while driving along I-90 and your case is
pending in Stafford Town Court.
It is unfortunate that you are in this predicament but
luckily this speeding ticket law firm can help limit your exposure to expensive
fines, penalties, points, and insurance increases.
Did you know that pleading guilty to 86 mph in a 65 mph zone
is a 6 point violation? The
presiding judge can issue a fine close to $400.00 and you can be hit with an
additional $300.00 penalty by the Department of Motor Vehicles. All of this may seem small compared to
the aggravation of going to court and paying an annual insurance increase.

The Court
Stafford Town Court is located at 8903 Route 237 in
Stafford, New York. Its postal zip code is 14143. It is part of New York’s 7th Judicial
District. Although this is a part
time court, it maintains a full time court staff. It has jurisdiction over both civil and criminal
matters.
As lower level court, it
does not have unlimited jurisdiction.
Most civil cases have fewer than $3,000.00 in controversy and most
criminal cases are misdemeanors.
The majority of cases heard in this court are traffic
tickets. Traffic tickets can range
from an uninspected vehicle ticket to a moving violation such as a speeding
ticket or cell phone violation.
Legal Proceedings
The majority of tickets are resolved prior to trial. Drivers are given an opportunity to
appear in court and discuss their tickets with the prosecutor. If an amicable resolution cannot be
reached, then the case may be adjourned for trial.
At trial, the court will be the trier of fact and determine guilt
or innocence. Once the court gives
its decision, the court will have many sentencing options avaible. Some sentences may include a fine or
incarceration.
Tickets Issued
The majority of speeding tickets issued in Genesee County
are written by Troop T. There are
other police agencies that share jurisdictional power to issue tickets. Some agencies include the County
Sheriff, Town Police, and State Park Police.
Two Step
Verification
Most speeding tickets are confirmed by two forms of
verification. Many State Police
officers will verify a speeding ticket by laser. Some other police agencies may verify a speed by radar. In additional to either laser or radar,
a speed is also confirmed by visual estimation.
