Here in WA there is an amount. I work for an attorney and we do a handful of speeding tickets (traffic infractions). We'll request a contested hearing, file a notice of appearance and request for demands (discovery). Discovery is basically the police report. If it's not provided or the officer does not show up the case is dismissed and the ticket goes away. I think there is also something here about the officer has to sign the back of the ticket and if he doesn't it's invalid, but not sure.
In the very least you request the contested hearing, go to court, explain the situation and try and get the fine reduced. We had a DUI client once where the office didn't file his report so the Department of Licensing couldn't suspend his license. Lucky little cuss he was.
Sorry about your ticket. I've had 2 in my driving career. I cried when I got my first one, I had two toddlers in the back, I was so upset I tried to get off the freeway to calm down, I got lost, then I got a flat tire, my husband (at the time) didn't want to come help me... it was horrible........ |
Having two children in the car, then a flat tire and hubby didn't want
to help you? Yes, that must have been horrible. Sorry that happened
to you. Somehow that made me feel better. I only got a ticket.
I hope they don't send me another with the amount to pay.
Maybe when they receive my guilty plea they will just forget about it.
I never saw a ticket without an amount on it! I thought that to be strange.
Is it possible they have several kinds of ticket's in the car? Maybe this
one was suppose to scare me! Dumb all he had to do was give me a nice
lecture and that would have done it for me. I'll have to ask my nephew.
