No it is not....even if you get the disclosure package before your trial, tell the Justice or judge that you just received it and have not had any chance to review of get adivce. This will result in another date being set, which will be almost guaranteed 6 months away.....
 
You have to request a disclosure package.

If the officer does not show up on your trial date - it will be withdrawn.

If the officer does attend - he may simply photocopy his notes and provide you the disclosure on the spot. You will need to tell Justice of the Peace that you need to review it.

Thanks for the help guys,

I just think is unsual that the disclosure package was not ready 2 days before the trial date. I was told that i was gonna get the disclosure package the day of the trial, i just feel i wont enough time to review it.

thanks again
 
Fuck.
Back in 2004 I was convicted of failing to stop at a stop sign. I was turning right and did not come to a complete stop (other than for the 5+ seconds I stood still waiting for the car in front of me to go). I pled innocent went to court and lost. I didn't even know about this disclosure package. Now I'm paying $900 more per year for insurance because of this and another minor conviction for speeding.
 
I got nailed for a no stop...but I just chatted with the officer...laughed at the whole thing with him...just talked about his day and the shit he gets for just doing his job......let me off with as warning..........
two days later....speeding around a corner....70 in a 50 zone....I get waved over to the side......I do the same thing......chat up the officer...make him laugh a bit.....reduced to minimum...nio points....

treat them like people...and most often...they will do the same to you.....
 
Ticket!
