How do you win a hearing at the TVB? Don’t they just believe the officer?

We try not to let a TVB hearing come down to a client’s word versus an officer’s word. Judges are indeed likely to believe the officer. Instead, we understand that an officer must testify and offer some very specific testimony (the “elements” of the charge). Attorneys look for omissions or contradictions on the part of the officer with respect to this necessary information and use these “problems” with the case as a basis for a dismissal of the charges.
