Warner v. Commonwealth

Facts:

The Commonwealth charged defendant with speeding under Caroline County, Va., Code § 82-4-10, which tracked the language of and

substance of the comparable Virginia Code Annotated provisions. Defendant stipulated the Commonwealth’s evidence was sufficient to convict him, but moved to dismiss

the § 82-4-10 charge because he was not provided an immediate hearing upon his request pursuant to Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-936. Section 46.2-936 provided that a person

issued a summons for a violation of the traffic code which was punishable as a misdemeanor had a right to an immediate hearing. Defendant requested such a hearing by

noting it on the Virginia Uniform Summons of which both he and the officer had copies. However, the speeding infraction was not punishable as a misdemeanor, and, even

if it had been, the remedy for violation of the rights under § 46.2-936 would not have been dismissal of the charge.
