If a police officer fails to sign a traffic ticket is it still valid?

Probably not. The officer's signature is usually where he certifies and swears to the complaint on the citation.

Who can request prayer for judgment in Virginia?
For a speeding ticket in Virginia they do not have a prayer for judgment. You can call the court and see if you are eligible for Virginia online traffic school and not have to appear in court. Or you can appear and ask for a reduction in the fine and the points. Of course you can always contest the ticket and go to trial but that is not advisable unless you retain a Virginia traffic attorney. Here is a site with more Virginia speeding ticket information.Another View: The word "prayer" is a term which can be subject to different meanings, but in the legal context, it refers to the specific amount asked for as damages at the end of a complaint or petition. A 'prayer' gives the judge an idea of what amount of damages is sought, and a defendant who fails to answer it may have a default judgment entered against them for the amount that was 'prayed' (asked) for.
Can a cop issue a traffic ticket for failure to yield to a emergency vehicle when he did not witness it?
Yes and no. Remember when it comes to tickets, it's really the cops word against yours. You would have to somehow PROVE that he didn't see you not yielding to the emergency vehicle. Before you think about that, consider this: Cops are NOTORIOUS for hiding EXTREMELY well, especially at night. This is usually how speeders are nailed amongst other types of violatiors. Not only that police are extremely keen in the eye, which is how they can spot someone run a stop sign or make an illegal U-Turn from what can be literally a mile away. This explains why when most people commit violations and are later caught, their complaint usually is that the cop was NOWHERE around when the alleged violation occured when they probably actually were. Depsite all this, ask yourself: Did you really fail to yield to an emergency vehicle when you could have safely pulled over? If you answer yes, MAN UP to your mistake, admit your guilt, pay the fine and move on.
Will a speeding ticket in North Carolina affect the driver's license from Tennessee?
Yes. If you were holding your TN DL while you got the ticket in NC, the ticket will be reflected on your TN driving record. Just because you're traveling in another state doesn't mean your driving record isn't affected by driving infractions. Should you decide not to pay the ticket and subsequently try to get a DL in another state, you will be barred from doing so until the ticket is paid.
What happens of you don't appear for a jury service?
When the person charged fails to appear at the hearing date the judge will issue a bench warrant for their arrest. Depending on the offense the police may actively seek the person or the person will be taken into custody when/if stopped by any law officer. If the person was released on bail by a bonding company, most such agencies employ agents (bounty hunters) who look for the individual and have the authority to take them into custody and return them to authorities.

What could happen to a police officer who fails to file a missing child report?
There's a lot that could happen. If the officer fails to file the missing child report and the child is later found murdered than the city and Police officer responsible is looking at millions of dollars being lost to a wrongful death and negligence lawsuit. The Officer may even be terminated from his position and could possibly face criminal charges too for misconduct resulting in death. Not only are the parents going to be out for the officers blood but the prosecutors office is going to be out for alot more.
Can you tell a police officer to get off your yard using private property in Los Angeles?
Assuming the officer has no valid business being on your property yes. If he refuses to leave, tell him one last time to leave your property. If he fails to leave at that point, call the Police and you can have him lawfully arrested or cited for trespassing. However, If the officer(s) are there on official business, you cannot ask them to leave, but you can inquire as to why they are on your property.

Will a speeding ticket in New York transfer to North Carolina?
From the New York State DMV FAQ:If you do not respond to a ticket or fail to pay a finefor a moving violation that you committed in any state except Alaska, California, Michigan, Montana, Oregon or Wisconsin, the DMV suspends your NYS driver license until you respond to the ticket or pay the fine. If a driver from a state except these six states fails to respond to a traffic ticket issued in NYS, their driver license will be suspended until the driver responds to the traffic ticket in NYS.If you don't care to read that, then the short answer is yes.
A police officer lied on an incident report what should you do?
Complain to his superiors, or the Internal Affairs Division of his department (if it has one) - if it results in a criminal prosecution then tell the prosecutor. If all else fails contact your local newspaper. BUT!!! You'd better have good proof of what you are saying or you could be charged with the criminal offense of making a "False Report to the Police," or the officer could sue you for 'defamation.'
How can you file a report against a police officer for questioning a minor without an adult?
Start by speaking with his superior officer. If this does not settle the issue then ask to see the chief of police. If all else fails, an appointment with the mayors office may help to get things done, realistically all that will be done is a note or memo of discipline in the officers review jacket (file) unless there was use of force in the questioning.
What happens if a police officer fails to report knowledge of a crime?
He would be liable to be charged with a criminal offense. In every (all?) jurisdiction I am aware of it is clearly against the law for law enforcement officers to knowingly conceal their knowledge of a crime.
Does a police officer need probable cause to search persons?
NO!A police officer needs reasonable suspicion. That means that they must have articulable facts that when presented in the totality of the circumstances a person would reasonable believe that a crime was or will be committed.Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1 (1968), was a decision by the United States Supreme Court which held that the Fourth Amendment prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures is not violated when a police officer stops a suspect on the street and frisks him without probable cause to arrest, if the police officer has a reasonable suspicion that the person has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime and has a reasonable belief that the person "may be armed and presently dangerous." (392 U.S. 1, at 30.)For their own protection, police may perform a quick surface search of the person's outer clothing for weapons if they have reasonable suspicion that the person stopped is armed. This reasonable suspicion must be based on "specific and articulable facts" and not merely upon an officer's hunch. This permitted police action has subsequently been referred to in short as a "stop and frisk," or simply a "Terry stop". The Terrystandard was later extended to temporary detentions of persons in vehicles, known as traffic stops.The rationale behind the Supreme Court decision revolves around the understanding that, as the opinion notes, "the exclusionary rule has its limitations." The meaning of the rule is to protect persons from unreasonable searches and seizures aimed atgathering evidence, not searches and seizures for other purposes (like prevention of crime or personal protection of police officers).
You were a victim of police brutality what do you do?
File a complaint with the agency whose officer(s) 'brutalized" you. If your complaint is legitimate they will investigate. If they are are not responsive, contact your local prosecutors office to look into it, or hire a private attorney to file suit for you. And if the above fails; what next?? Any avenue of recourse?
