Emily, MN asked in Traffic Tickets for Minnesota

Q: Received a ticket tonight in Carlton County. Tribal officer lied about the speed.

Cruise control was set for 30 miles. When pulled over I was told it was for speed. I asked how he measured my speed and he refused to answer. Wrote me for 73 in a 60. How do I request dash and body camera video for court ?

A: You can certainly enter a not guilty plea and request any dash and/or body cam footage as a part of the discovery process.

A: Contact the court to request a court date, to contest the ticket. If you can't resolve it with the prosecutor in a satisfactory way, you can send the prosecutor a written request for discovery. They may charge a fee for copies. Of course, you may have better luck with an attorney representing you.
