Re: speedy trial
The answer depends upon where the ticket was issued and in general the answer is no there are no speedy trial dismissals,in your case even if there were they do not begin until you appear and are arraigned on the charge. On your appearance date/trial date if the officer is not prepared there may be the possibility of a dismissal on legal grounds. If you wish to discuss this further you may call my office at 718-834-0087 for a no charge consultation.

Re: speedy trial
No, you do not have Speedy Trial rights to a Traffic Violation. Speedy trial issues arise for Misdemeanor & Felony criminal charges.
