Trial by written declaration for red light ticket

Trial by written declaration for red light ticket - There are two options to fight a 21453 a vc red light ticket violation; 1- Court trial or 2- Trail by written declaration. A court trial requires for the defendant or lawyer to appear in court to present the case to contest the red light ticket. As a result this option is usually very time consuming and costly. In order to show up in court, most people have to take time off work to drive to court and wait a few hours for the court proceedings to complete. In contrast, contesting a red light ticket with a trial by written declaration does not require for the defendant to appear in court. A trial by written declaration is done through the mail. 

Basically the defendant is required to complete the trial by written declaration form TR-205 and mail it to the court by the due date on the ticket. In the TR-205 the defendant should explain as to why the red light ticket should be dismissed. Once the court receives the trial by written declaration form from the defendant the court notifies the officer to submit a declaration to the court that explains the officer's argument as to why the ticket is valid. Usually the officer will be given 30 days to respond. Once the court has both written declarations, the court will review the declarations and issue a verdict. The verdict will be mailed to the defendant.

It may take 60 days or even 90+ days to get the verdict for a  trail by written declaration from the court. The advantage of doing a trial by written declaration is that if the verdict comes back a guilty, the defendant has a right to ask the court to do traffic school or even better the defendant has the right to ask for a new trial (Trial De Novo).  A trial de novo gives the defendant to fight the case all over again in front of a new judge as if the trial by written declaration did not even take place. Traffic court is the only court that a defendant may contest the case twice. Therefore, by doing a trial by written declaration a defendant does not have anything to lose.
