Our client was cited for racing after a long night at work. He was at one of his final lights before entering his community and got impatient. He accelerated quickly and sped to the final light. Officers of the Port St. Lucie Police Department observed his speed reaching the next light. They alleged a motorcycle was next to him but veered off into plaza. Because of this, he was charged with speeding. Despite the allegation, the officers failed to capture anything on video, and did not put in their reports of wheel spinning, chirping, or any other indicators of a race than mere speed and proximity of the motorcycle. The jury came back with a verdict of Not Guilty in roughly 30 minutes. -June 26, 2024.
