Our client was charged with Reckless Driving and Felony Fleeing and Eluding (2nd Degree Felony, punishable by up to 15 years in Florida State Prison). The video captured by the arresting officer showed our client traveling more than 90 mph in a 35 mph zone. When the officer’s lights were activated, out client continued driving causing a van to swerve off of the road. Our investigation revealed that the officers speedometer had not been properly calibrated to legally measure speed. After filing a Motion to Suppress and informing the State Attorney’s office about the problems with their evidence, the State agreed to drop all felony charges. The speeding ticket was dismissed as well!
