If you show up in court on the date written on the ticket and the officer is not there to prosecute the ticket the judge SHOULD dismiss it. On the other hand, if YOU failed to show up on that date, you were probably found guilty in absentia. As for the other part of the question - it is unknown what you mean by ".. did not write what the ticket was for other than a citation."
When they write you a ticket, but you are not arrested. Examples of this are most traffic violations, i.e. a speeding ticket. More serious crimes will be an arrest, not a citation.
GENERALLY speaking, the officer certifies the citation with his signature. If there is a specific place for the officer's signature and he did not sign the citation, you may want to ask the court to dismiss the citation. The officer may be allowed to re-issue the citation, but it is fairly likely that specific ticket is not valid.
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.
Yes, unfortunately, the ticket is still valid. In Idaho, neither the officer nor you are required to sign an infraction citation by law. Some individual jurisdictions may require the officer to sign the citation, while others may not. However, this is purely up to whomever is in charge of that particular officer on that particular day.
If the speed is not indicated on the ticket, you can contest it.
For one reason or another the officer withheld the ticket or forgot to file it. Hang on to the letter you received, your check and your copy of the ticket, in case it suddenly shows up in the system and you get notified. It is proof that you tried to comply with paying the fine.
You might be able to take the ticket to court and point this out to the judge or traffic hearing officer.
Yes, I am sorry to say that it is 2 years.
Yes you signing the ticket is just an acknowledgment that you received a citation by the officer on duty. Keep in mind you can always contest any part of the citation in court and amendments to the document may or may not help your case. Good Luck. J.R
I received a citation for shoplifting beer for the first time, do you know what the penalties may be.
The ticket number on a citation is a unique identifying number assigned to that specific citation. It is typically located at the top or bottom of the citation and is used to track and reference the citation throughout the legal process.
No, you will not 'get away with it'. There is no requirement that you sign the ticket, it simply shows that you received the ticket. If you do nothing, something will be sent to the owner's residence. If that is not responded to, they can put out a bench warrent.
