New York City TVB General Information

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
IF YOU GOT A TRAFFIC TICKET IN NEW YORK CITY, YOU NEED HELP!  
Unlike normal courts, there is no plea-bargaining in New York City Traffic court. That means "no negotiations and no deals" it is all or nothing, win or lose, 
YOU MUST GO TO TRIAL. MOST CLIENTS WHO REPRESENT THEMSELVES IN NYC TRAFFIC COURTS LOSE THEIR CASES.
Here is a quote from their website   (my commentary is in red)

"WHAT HAPPENS AT YOUR HEARING

You are considered innocent of the charge against you unless you are proven guilty at your hearing.   You cannot be found guilty unless there is "clear and convincing evidence" that you committed the violation.  (This is a lower level of proof than required in a real court, where you must be convicted beyond a reasonable doubt.)

If you find it hard to understand English, you may bring someone to help you. Tell the ALJ, before the hearing starts, that someone who speaks your native language and English is there to interpret. (But don't request an interpreter, they won't provide one)

The ALJ will listen to sworn testimony from the police officer, who will explain why you were given the ticket. Then, you or your attorney may ask the officer questions. You also may bring witnesses to testify for you and written evidence. The judge may ask witnesses questions to better understand their testimony.

You better listen carefully because it happens very quickly.

You do not have to testify but you may if you wish. You cannot be found guilty just because you do not testify.

When all on the evidence and testimony have been given, (the officer does not have to bring proof of radar calibration) the ALJ will decide whether or not you are guilty. That decision will be based only on the evidence and testimony presented at the hearing and what the law states. If the ALJ decides the charge against you was not proven by clear and convincing evidence, you will be found not guilty. (Hopefully!) If the charge is proven and you are found guilty, the judge will set a fine. Your license or registration also may be suspended or revoked, depending on the violation and your overall driving record.
