can anyone direct me to what i can do about this case?
i got a speeding ticket and knowingly, i wasnt speeding, i contested the ticket. in the process of contesting the ticket and setting a hearing date, i had to call in and set up a interpreter/reader so i could proceed in the matter because i am hard of hearing. i got it all set up and copied the documentation of the setup since i use a tty. four days before the hearing, the dept of human rights called and left a message and said they do not have to provide me a interpreter/reader. at the hearing there was no show of the interpreter/reader and the judge ordered for an interpreter/reader to be present in a follow up. again, i called in setup the interpreter/reader and copied documentation. then again like two days before the hearing the dept. of human rights left a message saying they do not have to provide me an interpreter/reader. at the hearing the interpreter/reader was a no show. judge even mentioned that she didnt even do the paperwork for the order. she dismissed the case. i dont think it is right for them to deny my rights to an interpreter/reader in accordance with the disabilities act. i have not been able to find a law firm to handle this type of case or referred to one. :confused: please help.
this is in florida.
thanks :)
