My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Indiana
I have been accused of violating Indiana Code 9-21-8-32 which says:
"A person who drives a vehicle shall stop at an intersection where a stop sign is erected at one (1) or more entrances to a through highway that are not part of a through highway and proceed cautiously, yielding to vehicles that are not required to stop."
I was ticketed for a rolling stop at a four way stop when there were no other cars on the roads near the intersection (daytime, clear weather, dry road)
My intended defense is that there is no evidence that I did not proceed cautiously (I slowed enough to determine if it was safe to proceed, no accident, no near miss) and no evidence that I failed to yield to vehicles (no other vehicles).
My defense is based on the assumption that to be guilty of 9-21-8-32, I must be guilty of all parts. Is this valid? Is there any way of finding what part of the law that says a person must be guilty of all parts of law to be guilty at all? I'd like to be able to reference this.
Thanks in advance!
