Default Re: Driving Ticket Question

Moving violations are very different state to state so it may be worth investigating in your state what the norm is. I have represented clients on various serious traffic matters in court in VA. I can tell you that the fatal photo radar is tricky to get out of. Some things that you may be able to argue:

Was the radar calibrated correctly? You can usually request when the last time the radar was calibrated from the police and by what manner it was calibrated. Again, this is different from state to state.

How was the radar calibrated to go off?

Did road/driving conditions affect the outcome of the photo?

Is it obvious in the photo that it is your son's car and/or your son driving?

I doubt that the violation is serious (in time and money) for you to hire an attorney so I wouldn't recommend that. Unless your insurance premium will go up several hundred dollars for several years, I don't think its worth hiring an attorney. Please also understand, this is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. If you have any further questions you should consult an attorney in your state.
