What is the BURDEN OF PROOF
for New York Traffic Tickets?
Attorney Mike Cyr explains what the legal burden of proof is for a New York Traffic violation.
In New York, there are several different burdens of proof. There is "a preponderance of the evidence" (the civil standard) and there is "beyond a reasonable doubt," (the criminal standard).
Beyond a Reasonable Doubt is the highest standard of proof in our legal system. This is the standard that applies to NY traffic tickets. This is a good thing because it enables defense attorneys to make arguments that have a chance to convince a judge to dismiss the ticket(s).
The Beyond a Reasonable Doubt standard makes it harder for prosecutors to convict people.
