Blockburger Test And Traffic Tickets

Summary

The Blockburger test is used to determine if double jeopardy applies by checking if each charge requires proof of a fact that the other does not. In your case, the charges for brake light, no license, paraphernalia, and THC possession each have distinct elements, so double jeopardy may not apply. Defending yourself without an attorney involves understanding the charges, gathering evidence, and preparing your argument. THC legality in Minnesota does not affect charges in Wisconsin. Potential due process violations could occur if you were not properly informed of charges or denied a fair trial. Document everything, challenge evidence, and ensure fair hearings to address these concerns.

For two charges to be distinct, each must have at least one element that the other does not. This means that each charge requires proof of a fact that the other charge does not require.
