How our AI uses this defense
When your case facts fit this theory, our AI adapts the template below to your specific citation, courthouse, and evidence. Every field is filled in from your actual ticket — citation number, violation code, courthouse, and officer details.
The officer has not testified to (a) current calibration of the device, (b) operator certification, or (c) a start-of-shift accuracy check. Under Kelly/Hall the radar reading lacks foundation and is inadmissible.
