Do i have the right to a fair trial in a municipal court (no jury)?.. is it a fair trial if there is a conflict of interest?.. who does the judge represent?.. so if the judge represents the crown does this not present a conflict of interest?

• i was told i could dispute a traffic violation by asking the judge those 3 questions in order, supposing that the judge and the policeman represent the crown, this would present a conflict of interest in my recieving a fair trial

• someone told me you can beat a traffic violation by asking the judge those 3 questions, and since the judge represents the crown this would suggest a conflict of interest resulting in the ticket being exonerated alltogether. i don't f@ckin know, it sounded kinda nuts but i figured hey if it's true then sht...

• Sounds iffy to me
  If you did this in the US you would be held in contempt and/or fined or jailed.
  If the officer does not show up to the hearing in the US, the case is dismissed.
  Also in the US the burden of proof is on the state, the speed tracking equipt. must be calibrated and the date of calibration must be present on the citation, all of the info on the citation needs to be accurate.
  I would try this argument in court, even in the UK.
  try a different angle

• Wrong! Yes nevil myles, you are correct. That is a conflict of interest & yes if you ask these 4 questions to the Judge:
  
  1. "Am I entitled to a fair trial?"
  (And he lies to you by saying, "Yes".)
  
  2. "Is it a fair trial if there is a conflict of interest?"
  (Everyone knows that it is not a fair trial if there is a conflict of interest, there for the Judge will tell you, "No it is not a fair trial if there is a conflict of interest".)
  
  3. "Who do you represent?"
  (Again, most all know that the Judge represents whomever appointed them be it the State/County.)
  
  As you hold up your ticket given to you by a "STATE TROOPER" or "COUNTY DEPUTY" you simply ask:
  
  4."How is this not a conflict of interest when this ticket is payable to the State/County whom you represent?"
  
  CASE DISMISSED! NEXT.
