Speeding Ticket Question

[ctt0002 10+ year member]

u cant get put on warrant unless they notify u

Two years ago i had a warrant out for me because i forgot i had a seat belt ticket and i was in europe, i wasn't notified until i showed up to pay for me fee.

ive seen a couple tickets get tossed out because of wrong information, just show up to court it will take about 10 minutes to walk up to the judge, say he put everything on there wrong, and he will most likely throw it out.

Maybe so but i would just rather pay for the fine and get it over with because i have to find the place and take time off from school to do it. Its just a big hassel to deal with because the cop didn't take a look over the ticket and i don't know why i didn't look at it.

My fault as well but its more of his responsibility to make sure that the information is incorrect because i didn't have my license on me. Any good cop would make sure that the information is correct.

kudos to you for owning up to braking the law and not blaming the cop. Im curious though, why he would ask you for your SSN?

Yea i take ownership of speeding and of course the ticket as well. I don't blame him one bit but he was careless and not making sure that everything was correct on his end.

He asked for my ssn# because i didn't have my license on me. I also don't remember my dl#.

From my understanding your a totally different person from on the ticket. So I saw **** it forget about it all.

I know that but i put myself in that person's shoe and i'll be hella pissed if it would have happened to me. That person is young as well because of the date of birth so i would rather not let them have a record for something stupid like this.

I would love to have the mentality of saying **** it because its not me on the ticket but i simply can't see myself doing that.

I would say call and see. Or wait it out personally i have had numerous speeding tickets in mass and ct. Just for a couple mistakes on a ticket it will not make a differnce. but that is not a LITTLE mistake. X not guilty and send it in. either way if you or the other person get sent the court date in the mail it will be dismissed.
EDIT: for a speeding ticket you will be in the courthouse all of 10 mins you go in with the trooper and the DA and they read the evidence against you, you state your excuse haha and they give you their desicion

Yea but the place i'm sure it is a good 30 mins away and then i have to get up early and to find the court house.

I have no excuse for speeding but i just want to get the information correct because i don't want to mess with anybody else personal stuff like this.

I know most of the time around here for traffic violations the court appearance is scheduled for around 11. Best bet is to call then I guess. But I would gladly say pay it if he did not screw up ROYALY. But why waste 155$ when it will be thrown out? Just my opinon. If you do a little google research you will find much better answers.

for 15 mph over get one of the cheap lawyers.. tell them this.. Look the officer took my info on a pad of paper and misprinted all of my info... they will go to court and it will get thrown out.. or to see if its in your name wait a week and see if you get the flyers in the mail..

no one else will get in trouble... they don't own that car and it wasn't stolen so they can say they have no connections with the owner and they didn't drive it

say he smelled like weed or alcohol and then say maybe thats why the ticket is wrong and if they dont drop the ticket u will let the media know about it haha

Alright guys, I'm gonna wait about 2 weeks cause i heard in alabama it can take up to 2 weeks for the ticket to be recorded and then call them and see what they say.

Did you sign the ticket?

I would call the agency the Officer works for and get in contact with him. Leave a brief voicemail for the citing officer about the issue (make sure to include the ticket #, date/time, what you were cited for, your number, etc). Just keep checking up on the courthouse to see what kind of information shows up on the citation.

No. He didn't ask me to sign it. He simply gave it to me and said do i have any questions for him and that was it.

So he gave you a ticket so now you have someone elses SSN, Address, Name and Info.

What a way for a cop to provide for identity theft. He fails at being a officer of the law. You can easily get out of that ticket because of that. Call a lawyer.

I'm not getting a lawyer for something that only cost $155 and having to pay the lawyer more to getting out of something that is clearly my fault.

I just need to make it right so that this other person won't get in trouble or have to worry about this.
