i don't know your state's laws, but there is a little thing called due process. im not sure if it applies here but i basically says... if you are arrested(which i assume you were) then the police are obligated to file and process your citation with a reasonable timeframe(24 hrs on a weekday, 72 hrs on a weekend). if you think that they forgot or something, guess again. In Virginia, it will be arrested at site and book at police station when arrived. If happed at weekend, it will stay in jail until bond out or seeing judge on Monday.

How long does a police officer in Florida have to file a speeding ticket?
In the state of Florida, a police officer technically has five days to file a speeding ticket that they wrote. However this is not always the case and the court will still accept it even if it is filed later than that.
Officer wrote that your car was green on the ticket but its black and on the regristration it says black can this be dismissed?
The important question is whether the incident documented by the police officer actually happened. If it happened, and the officer merely made a mistake on the color of the car, you cannot get the ticket dismissed.
Can you get out of your ticket if a police officer does not issue a ticket to everyone just a select few?
No.
Can a civilian narcotics officer follow you home and use an on duty police officers tickets book and write a citation?
I've never heard of a 'civilian narcotics officer." If you are referring to a narcotics officer who works undercover or in civilian clothing - he is STILL a police officer. Whatever action he took that necessitated the issuing of a ticket - police officers don't 'own' the ticket books they carry. A ticket book is nothing but a pad of legal forms that can be utilized by ANY sworn law enforcement officer for issuing summonses. If that describes the incident you are referring to then, yes, it was legal.
What happens if police officer forgot to ask you to sign on your no seatbelt vioation in the state of Florida?
You could always argue that the ticket was not properly issued in accordance with law. However, you must prove that the law requires police to have a motorist sign a ticket.

Can a police officer give a ticket in a trailer park?

How long does a police officer have after you are reported to ticket you?

Can a Florida police officer void a ticket after it has already been issued but not paid say maybe because the officer discovered the next day the violating motorist was a coworker's daughter?
The officer always has the right to void a ticket after the fact as well as if he cannot he can forgo going to court on said date and the charges will be dismissed.
Can non certified police officer write traffic ticket?
Based on the question, I assume the officer in question is employed by the police department; however, has not completed training through the state. Yes, the police officer can issue a ticket. Although not certified, the officer has been granted authority through the police department, and holds the authority to do anything that a certified officer may do (within reason).
