Child Support Crisis: Defendant Lands a Felony!

In this courtroom hearing, a defense attorney challenges a traffic infraction on a highly technical — but crucial — legal ground. The case centers on whether the officer’s notice of infraction is valid when it fails to identify the law enforcement agency he represents.

The defense argues that the officer’s signature and sworn declaration do not meet the requirements of RCW 5.50.010 and RCW 5.50.050, which mandate that a declaration must clearly include the officer’s agency identification. Without it, they say, the document lacks authenticity and jurisdiction — meaning the case should be thrown out before it even begins.

The prosecution fires back, claiming that this is “form over substance.” They argue that officers are certified by the Washington State Commission, giving them statewide authority to issue infractions regardless of the agency name. In their view, it’s a harmless omission, not a fatal flaw.

But the judge doesn’t see it that way. Citing the plain language of RCW 5.50.010(3E), the judge finds that the law explicitly requires an officer to list both their department or agency along with their name and badge number. Because that information was missing, the court rules that the officer did not substantially comply with the statute.

As a result, the motion to suppress is granted, and the case is dismissed on its face — a powerful reminder that in law, details matter. One missing line on a form can make the difference between guilt and dismissal.
