Question

My husband was pulled over this morning by approximately 5 police officers because they got a call from a citizen wanting to place my husband under citizens arrest. Their reason was that he was supposedly going 110 mp in a 45 mph zone. He was not going nearly that fast and the police never "clocked" him as going over the speed limit. He was told that the person asking for the citizens arrest would be contacted and asked if he wishes to pursue this. If he does pursue it, is there any way to defend against this?



Answer

Absolutely. Your husband will want to hire a traffic lawyer to defend him in court. Hopefully the police and the prosecutor will make the right decision and not bring charges. But, if they do, then he needs an attorney to defend him and help show that "citizens" shouldn't be able to prove speeding charges beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. Feel free to have him give me a call to discuss options.

Answer

Yes, there are potential defenses. I urge your spouse confer with an experienced attorney at this time. Attorneys are not to solicit clients pursuant to state rules of conduct for licensed practitioners.
