you generally can record a traffic case .. just ask the judge, he should have no objections....file a request to record .. if the judge turns you down, then plead not guilty and ask for a continuance to get a lawyer (then show w/o a lawyer next time and request again).
Also, most helmet laws have been found unconstitutional. Unlike the goofy notion that seatbelts (courts have ruled because they aid in control of the vehicle -- helmets dont do anything in this regard) are constitutional.
The cops was looking for illegal stuff in your purse, well beyond his authority ... you should have objected .. but you already knew that I think ..
Also, check state law .... a ticket may be required to be replaced with an information, upon demand to the DA. If so, do it!
The cop wasn't too bad .... IMO
Not in North Las Vegas Municipal Court. By the order of the Judges who sit on the bench in that court, NO ELECTRONIC devices of any kind may be brought into the BUILDING... not just the courtroom... the BUILDING. TL has already once been threatened with arrest by a City Marshal for attempting to do just that.
Pretty much over TL's dead body.
No, most helmet laws have been upheld AS constitutional in most of the states that have them... Nevada being one. Any "fight" using those grounds is a loser.
TL ain't lookin' to get her ticket "replaced"... she's lookin' to fight the damn thing and air her grievance and the grievances of all riders who believe being "lawed" into wearing a helmet is a violation of her/their personal freedoms. Further, that the means by which law enforcement attempts to enforce the helmet law IS unconstitutional, violating the 4th and 14th Amendments.
