In defence of the police officers oversights

1. He never noticed that my daughter and I were not seatbelted.
- he might of, just never called you on it

2. My license and registration has two different addresses
- could have missed, or not even looked, he could have been satified that you produced the documents

3. I accidently gave him an outdated insurance card that expired 10/02
- same as number 2
- if he noticed he could have assumed that you did have insurance but produced an old card.

If your laws are anything like they are in ALBERTA Canada, A police officer can issue a speeding ticket based soley on an estimation, and it will stand in court as long as he can prove to the judge that he is accurate within a few Km/h.

To bring up the police officers "oversights" in court would not work (in my opinion). They are considered trained proffessionals by the courts.

In ALBERTA Canada a police officer can issue a traffic ticket up to 6 months after the incident... your testimony, under oath, if the police officer wanted to be a prick could issue you at least 4 more tickets. (he most likely wouldn't)

as far as your "robic" I have never heard of it ... but that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

I would fight it based solely on making the police officer explain this method and grill him on it. If any thing you might be able to deal with the prosecutor and get a deal (ie/no demirits, reduced penalty). But what ever you do, do not name call, point fingers, or be an ***. When you go to court be polite, proffessional, and dress appropriately, the judges and prosecutors take all of that into consideration.
