Reply to "Speeding Defense?"

What if you sold your cat to someone (a spouse perhaps?) for say, $50 and then leased it back indefinitely for say, $1/month, if you get caught for speeding, would they be able to take it away and crush it if you were not the owner?

Just a hypothetical question the next time you're talking to your lawyer :-)


And just to be clear on my advice above, I'm not suggesting that you present any evidence yourself, but merely that you request they provide you with all of their evidence in advance of the case and in English (this includes copies of any notes the officer wrote down as well as copies of both sides of the ticket) - this should be your legal right, and if they don't comply, then the judge should either throw out the case or give them an adjournment to put together and send you the material - oftentimes the prosecution isn't up to the bother of this and will give up. But as you say, it's only a week away, so you'd have to get the request couriered to them ASAP - two weeks is considered plenty of notice, but even a few days may be sufficient in the eyes of the court.

I'm just encouraging you to fight tooth and nail, I wouldn't want to see a cat smooshed into a little cube in the future because this one is on your record.

Good Luck!
