This wiorks too. But a lawyer is going to do exactly what I described above. Save the $500 if you can.

$500? Only cost me $70. =)

Dunno there but here you cant no longer argue with stupid arguments like that. Jufges will refuse it.

BTW radar detector aren't so effective like they used to be. Cops now use new radars working on different frequencies. Pretty hard to hack.

Not to pick on you, but please use spell check (Jufges??)

I got a speeding ticket, and the cop put the wrong date and put am instead of pm on the time. I was wondering if I had a chance to get out of it, because of his mistakes. It was 23 miles over the speed limit so it is a 6 point violation.

Bulldog, I know exactly what this means and what you need to do. Putting the wrong date on the ticket immediately makes it an "invalid document." You need to file for an appearence to contest the ticket ASAP. You also need to keep your filing information to show when you filed. (You didn't say when the ticket was issued and what date the cop wrote.) If he wrote months off (i.e., 7-6-02 instead of 2-6-02) you are free and clear. If he wrote 7-5-02 instead of 7-6-02 you will need to request the ticket book and document that the tickets written before yours and after yours were for a different date.

Where this can get tricky:
1. The cop could back track the ticket number and enter it in the computer as having been written on the date he wrote (I had a cop do this to me after he wrote the wrong date. Fortunately, I logged my court appearence PRIOR to when the ticket was supposed to have been written.)
2. The cop can claim YOU are wrong and that is the date you received the ticket.

Bottom line... you have to document the date is wrong. If you can... it is invalid.

Just becuase the time is incorrct WILL NOT void the ticket.
That error alone is not enough.
I have been sitting through traffic court for 8 years now. and have yet to see that argument win.

and is push comes to shove. The Officer will be able to document the appx time it was written by tracking his violation numbers prior to and after said violation.

I've been to traffic school 3 times already.

And I recently got 2 speeding tickets in the same week, a few weeks ago.

Here you can ask the judge to take it under advisement...which means it will not go on your record or get any points unless you have another violation in the set time. If you stay clear in that time then it is dropped.
