Cop wrote my ID incorrect on ticket

Jordo!

I would consult with a local traffic attorney. This is one of those sorts of loophole issues they will be better versed in for the state and county where you were given the citation.

Some of you guys are silly. You know the consequences of speeding. Yet you decide to do it, and when you get caught, you get mad at the officer for doing his job. Enforcing the law. Sometimes it sucks, on both sides.

Some of the advice in here is pretty good and some of it isn't so sound. Do not ignore this. As the others have said, a little mistake isn't always going to get the ticket thrown out. The last thing you want is a bench warrant and a suspended drivers license. Some departments give their officers assigned court dates and times through the year. If you keep rescheduling then it will more than likely be rescheduled on another one of the officers court dates. If it isn't, that officer will more than likely be issued a subpoena to be at court. That means that he technically has to go.

I would simply go to court and fight it yourself. Theres no sense in hiring a lawyer for a little traffic charge. Decide whatever your defense should be and roll with it. If you got a ticket in California, use that guide that someone posted. That is actually a really good defense in the way that law was written.

Almost by definition, people who drive 50 in a 35 are not good citizens. Man up. You got caught and the ticket, along with its associated costs, are supposed to be painful and ruin your day.

cops word vs yours in court, along with tons of identical information on the ticket matching you. You lose every single time. If you don't want to get tickets, follow the traffic laws. Otherwise live with the consequences.

I found out that in Indiana a couple "myths" about traffic court are not true. My teenage son got a ticket for running a red light. Somehow the officer wrote the ticket to me because the title was in my name. I thought, cool, the officer screwed up, this will get dismissed. I waste a morning trying to get the ticket dismissed. They won't budge, and I file not guilty and get a date with the judge. I waste another half day of work going to court. The officer is a no show. Again, I think I have a perfect situation to get this thrown out. Nope, the judge says the officer needs to be there to verify I wasn't the driver and gives the officer an out by rescheduling. So I waste another half day of work, go back to court and the officer tells the judge that he made a mistake and the ticket was removed from my record and they re-issued it to my son. Once it was corrected, my son paid the fine and didn't hassle with going to court.

So, if the officer doesn't show up, it doesn't get automatically dropped.
If the info on the ticket is completely incorrect, they can fix it as needed.

If you are guilty, you may be able to to defer the ticket. In Indiana, you can get the prosecutor to give you a deferment. You basically pay the fine plus a monthly fee for 6 months. If you don't get a ticket during the 6 months, the ticket is dropped. You don't get points and your insurance will not know. But, if you get any ticket during the 6 months, you loose the money you paid and have to deal with the original ticket all over again.

one time i got a reckless driving ticket going 0mph... yea 0 as in zero miles per hour. guess what i still had to pay $600 for a lawyer, $400 for the ticket and $100 for the defensive driving school.

unless they give you a blank ticket, you will have to pay for it. i have never seen a ticket get dismissed because something was written wrong on it.

every time i got a ticket i went to court and got it reduced so it doesn't go on my record and i get no points. more importantly the insurance doesn't find out.

I gotta ask; what exactly were you doing/not doing to receive a ticket for reckless driving, when your car wasn't even moving? A burnout?

njobe89

no, i was driving 40 in a 25 zone coming into a turn that had pot holes in the road. i got as close to the double yellow line without crossing it, a cop was coming on the opposite end and turned around after me. i immediately pulled over cause i thought she got me going 15mph not a big deal. she comes up to the window and states "you could have lost control and hit me" and proceeds to write me a reckless driving ticket.


i could have won the lottery but didnt. wish i could go collect the 200 million jackpot with that statement

So she writes you a ticket for what could've happened and that's justified just because there cops and guys on here are actually defending these azzholes that we pay to protect and serve??? What a joke!!!

Also traffic court is one of the most boring, aggravating, and staged courts of all time. They can postpone, delay, make you come back as many times as they want. Its not even worth going. The traffic court judge I was in front of over an expired meter, his name was Judge Steven Segal, I kid you not, and he was just as much a pompous jerk as the real one! He was on stage, and all the people at court were his audience, he only got to like 5 cases, and the other 25 people there had to come back another night, after sitting there for 4 hours until 11pm on a work night.

Radars and laser jammers.......... Haven't had a ticket in 8 years and trust me, I push the limit on a regular basis. If I don't wanna speed I drive my smart car, which is my DD, but when I get in my Nismo or SRT8 there's a strong chance I'm getting in the triples.

Lol.. Any recommendations?
