When a police officer pulls you over for breaking a traffic law, they will probably give you a traffic ticket. The ticket should say how much the fine is, what the traffic offence was, and when the court date is.
When police officers are in a hurry or don’t pay attention, they sometimes write down the wrong information on traffic tickets. When that happens, you might be able to fight the ticket or have a traffic ticket lawyer do it for you. Below are the three mistakes officers make.
Officers are often in a hurry, so they don’t always write down all the necessary information on a ticket. If an officer forgets to fill out a section or the proper offence, if that missing information is important to the case, the ticket may be thrown out.
There has been a lot of debate on how accurate radar guns and red light cameras are. The accuracy of a traffic camera’s shutter speed can be affected by weather, high winds, and winter storms. The way a police officer uses radar equipment and how well it is maintained can also affect how well the sensitive instruments get the right information. If any of these things are true about your ticket, you may have a better chance of fighting it.
If a police officer writes down the wrong make and model of your car, the wrong license plate number, or any other key piece of information that helps identify you, the ticket might be thrown out. All you have to do is show that the car on the list is not your car by showing proof that the right information is true.
