16.005 Trial by Declaration or Affidavit

If the appropriate statutory section allows for an infraction or violation trial to be conducted
by declaration or affidavit, then the following must occur:

As authorized by option four on the back of the Oregon Uniform Citation and Complaint
the alleged violator must contact the court before the day and time the summons requires
them to appear to determine if they qualify for a trial by declaration or affidavit.  If they
qualify, the court will send the alleged violator and the officer the declaration forms
contained in Appendix 3.  The forms must be filed by the date specified by the court on the
forms.

Absent good cause shown, a declaration that is not filed as required herein may not be
considered by the court.
