The legal system doesn't like surprises... try to be a smartarse then expect to treated severely. in a jury or judged trial, you would submit your defence before proceedings begin and legal argument over the validity of defence, evidence and witnesses might be required before trial proceeds... i would assume that similar applies to a magistrate except where proceedings are to deal with a guilty plea and youre only making statements regarding sentencing, leniency, etc ... but trials are usualy for criminal or civil matters, i don't know what happens when you challenge a traffic offence. i would assume that if the prosecution figured they would lose, they would not proceed further with the matter and appear to not waste the courts time - unless it's something they feel strongly about (e.g. speed cameras, breath testing) and don't want to supply future defendants with a possible defence or loophole for escaping a judgement. charles.
