Traffic courts are pretty relaxed. The prosecutors do very little preparation for any one case. One prosecutor will handle an entire morning of cases up that day (20 to 40). The cases I was the victim/witness, I prepared my evidence (full case) and showed it to the prosecutor the morning of the case. The prosecutor then showed it to the defense. The defense then either requested a continuance to figure a way to try and challenge my evidence (really hoping I would not show up next court date) or they would finally just plead 'no contest'.
