A seasoned attorney can challenge the officer’s version of events to cast doubt on his or her account of what occurred. If the officer was not in a proper location to pull you over or your rights were violated during the stop, this information can also be used to have the ticket dismissed. In addition, arguing that any device use was due to a technical malfunction or was unintentional can help have the ticket dismissed.

In recent times, drivers have been ticketed for cell phone / portable electronic device use even though they were not talking or texting. This can be a result of the broad language in the law that essentially states that a person is assumed to be using the device if it is held to their ear or in their hand. A skilled attorney can use this information to have the ticket dismissed, or at least reduced to a non-moving violation like a parking ticket. This can save you hundreds of dollars in fines and insurance premium increases.
