Today (11/13/2003) at 1:30PM I got pulled over for speeding by a FL Highway Patrol on I-95. I was just cruising along with traffic following the car in front of me and some how he managed to pick me (silver Nissan Altima) out of traffic. See photo below. He gives me a ticket for doing 74 in a 55, but he wrote November 12, 2003 ... which is the wrong date. Can this ticket legally be "thrown out" on this technicality?

Hey friend,afraid you will be out of luck on this one since tickets are numbered and officer can show he just made a mistake on date unless all before and after numbers are 11/12/03. SORRY |

I'm a AAA member and get reimbursed on my legal fees for tickets. I even MADE money on a ticket I got out of once when he submitted 2 court appearances to AAA, 1 for arraignment, 1 for trial. They reimbursed me for 2 attorney fees.  I have had tickets spelling my name wrong. Not me. Dismissed. Had a ticket once stating "speeding on Hwy 45 south". Where on 45 south? Dismissed. If he made such a simple error on the ticket, what else was in error? Speed? Wrong Car? Dismissed. Most times the cop doesn't even show up. Dismissed. Get you an atty, pay him $10 over cost of the ticket to represent you, and chances are, you'll get out of it. Take proof you were not in that area at that time on that day.------------------   This message has been edited by idive on 11-13-2003 at 06:36 PM |

Mickey, I have AAA, how do I go about getting the paperwork for reimbursement of attorney fees. Just call my local office?

Yes, call your local office. They will send you forms to fill out. Actually, I think you have to have your atty fill them out. When they state something has to be on his letterhead, it does. You have to plead not guilty. AAA has gotten picky on this in recent years but as long as everything is in order they will reimburse you. They might even provide a list of local attys for you. They did for me several years back. I don't know if they still do that. The paperwork will be submitted after the decision in court is made and I think they have a time limit on how long after so it might be best to get your atty to send you the papers and you send them in. That way you are on top of things. Make copies for yourself. |

A judge can dismiss but they can simply refile it, or they can just amend it right there in court. It is all up to the judge's discretion. |

True Ed, it depends on the court. Like Mickey said, Harris County judges will dismiss on any reason, but you come to Brazos County, and they won't dismiss for anything, it doesn't matter what kind of attorney you have. I just got summoned for a jury trial on a ticket in Burleson County! Sorry to hear the trooper was "less than professional" Spoons. It happens in every job sector - not just with cops. We have our share of jerks here also, but those are the ones I ship out of my division! Plead your case to the court and hope that the judge has a better attitude! ------------------ |

quote: An idea. If it is ok to get out of paying these tickets, is it ok for someone to walk after murdering or injuring someone because some officer put the wrong date on the ticket? If you broke the law driving over the speed limit, pay the ticket like a man. If you were not speeding, then fight it leagally. Any speeding ticket that I ever got, I paid. JMO |
