It is more likely to be thrown out if it is not a major citation, or if you have a good driving record. You could also mention the wrong direction was written on your ticket to the judge and make him aware that the ticketing officer was confused or lacking intelligence.
As long as the officer that issued the ticket can be identified, say by the ticket number, the signature is not going to get it thrown out.
yes I've had one thrown out
Yes, it can!
It is not likely to be thrown out for an error. The rest of the information is sufficient to identify the person and vehicle.
If a ticket is thrown out in court your insurance will not go up. The ticket will not appear on your driving record wich is used to help set your rate. Insurance companys go by whats on your record and their is no record of an officer giveing you a ticket only the conviction.
A ticket Can be thrown out for any reason the judge deems fit. However what do you mean by the wrong name. But in general if the officer gave you a ticket then it is yours. You obviously did something wrong just own up to it. Trying to weasel out of a ticket because of some small clerical error, which he may have fixed upon returning to the station (I have seen this happen before, someone has there ticket and something is werong on it like a name or something and the court documents have that same ticket with the corrected info, they usually side with the officer) only upsets judges and magistrates because of your lack of ethics
If a police officer doesn't have a person to sign their ticket, the ticket is still valid in any state. It is only a myth that the ticket will be thrown out of court.
Depending on the exact nature of the offense ticketed, the police officer has a certain period of time within which to amend the ticket to put in the correct date. This type of mistake is not an automatic reason to dismiss the ticket, but it might impeach the officer's credibility if it goes to trial. Most likely it would not damage the officer's credibility to the extent where the court will disbelieve everything he/she says about the violation.
No, an off duty officer can not issue a ticket in the state of Alabama. An officer must be on duty before they arrest someone or issue a ticket.
Probably not, I am not a lawyer or judge, but if you admit fault to a higher charge, the judge will simply ammend the violation and hold you to that. Typically in traffic court the officer is there to testify for the procecution of the violation, if you ADMIT to a higher crime the officers testimony is no longer needed since you confessed.
No, an officer's error in properly filling out the citation does not GUARANTEE it will be thrown out, and is in no way by itself a reason for being found "not responsible" However if the judge decides that the officer could have also made a mistake on say the "infraction itself" then the judge may call the officers attention to detail into question wondering what else the officer could have made a "mistake" on.
No.
