Fort Pierce Police Department

Result

Charges Dropped

Our client was pulled over based on the police officer’s ‘visual estimate’ that our client was exceeding the speed limit. After digging into the particular officer’s personnel file and discovering that he wasn’t qualified to give a visual estimate of speed, we filed a suppression motion. After reviewing our arguments made in the Motion to Suppress, the prosecutor wisely dropped the case.
