Mr. C was accused of traveling 69 miles per hour in a 45 mile per hour zone along Scottsdale Road. He was subsequently cited for Criminal Speeding under Arizona Revised Statute ARS 28-701.02 (A)(2). We later interviewed the Police Officer in order to determine if the “tuning forks” were properly utilized during the calibration of his radar device. He had one for 55 miles per hour, and one for 35 miles per hour. Due to the discrepancies in his calibration of the radar device, we were able to have the criminal ticket reduced to a civil ticket. The Judge then allowed Mr. C to take traffic school, which resulted in a Dismissal of that ticket. Mr. was left with no conviction or points on his record.
