Our client was charged with Stopping for School Bus Required in Rhode Island. While driving, if there are flashing red lights from a school bus, drivers who are approaching the bus from either direction are required to come to a full stop and remain stopped until the bus’s red lights no longer flash. This traffic offense carries a fine up to $500 and a potential license suspension.
Understanding the situation, our attorneys jumped to work by reviewing all the evidence that was available including video footage and the police report. They also examined the details of the stop and the circumstances surrounding the alleged violation to identify potential inconsistencies or procedural errors in the prosecution’s argument.
With this knowledge, the attorneys engaged in strategic negotiations and presented clear and compelling arguments. After several court hearings, they were able to demonstrate that the prosecution did not have enough evidence to move forward and, as a result, the charge was entirely dismissed. This outcome not only spared our client from financial penalties but our client avoided a potential license suspension.
