I-84 is a major thoroughfare connecting portions of eastern
and western New York State. Each
year many drivers en route to Pennsylvania and Upstate New York fall victim to
the State Troopers patrolling the highway and are issued a hefty speeding
ticket. A portion of I-84 cuts
through Greenville and as such their speeding tickets and other moving
violations become returnable to the Greenville Town Court.
A conviction to a speeding ticket can have a significant
impact on a driver’s insurance. In
some circumstances, a conviction can result in a license suspension,
revocation, or a jail sentence.

The Officer’s
Proof in Court
There are many different ways by which police officer can
establish their ticket in chief.
Most speeding tickets are proven by a police officer’s testimony in
court. They provide the judge with
two methods of speed verification.
The first method is usually some kind of radar or laser reading. Some common radar devices are the Dual
Stalker and the Ultralyte. The
second method is visual observation.
Elements of a
Speeding Ticket
There are 5 core elements that a prosecutor must establish
to prevail at a speeding ticket trial.
These elements are:
1. Identification of the driver,
2. Operation,
3. Vehicle,
4. Jurisdiction, and
5. Speed over the limit.
The Burden of
Proof in a Speeding Ticket Case in Local Court
In local courts such as Greenville Traffic Court, the
prosecution must prove each element beyond a reasonable doubt.
If the prosecutor should fail to establish one of these
elements, the Judge should dismiss the charge.
