My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Washington
I just received a notice of infraction in the mail yesterday on 2/1/2018 for speeding in a school speed zone, going 28. The violation date was 1/12/2018. The Issue date was 1/25/2018 by the officer which is 13 days after the date of violation. I didn't receive the notice of infraction until 2/1/2018 which is 20 days from the violation date. According to RCW 46.63.170 paragraph (e) below, the notice of infraction was not received in the required timely manner of 14 days. How do I contest this?
RCW 46.63.170, paragraph (e): (e) A notice of infraction must be mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle within fourteen days of the violation, or to the renter of a vehicle within fourteen days of establishing the renter's name and address under subsection (3)(a) of this section. The law enforcement officer issuing the notice of infraction shall include with it a certificate or facsimile thereof, based upon inspection of photographs, microphotographs, or electronic images produced by an automated traffic safety camera, stating the facts supporting the notice of infraction. This certificate or facsimile is prima facie evidence of the facts contained in it and is admissible in a proceeding charging a violation under this chapter. The photographs, microphotographs, or electronic images evidencing the violation must be available for inspection and admission into evidence in a proceeding to adjudicate the liability for the infraction. A person receiving a notice of infraction based on evidence detected by an automated traffic safety camera may respond to the notice by mail.
