You don't give any information on your situation but the court will usually allow an officer to amend a ticket and that is true in all states.
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.
individuals cannot amend a police report. The police department can do this (if they agree to) if they do not, then an attorney may have to be involved.
Contact the officer or investigator to whom you gave your original statement and tell them that you have recalled more things and would like make a supplemental statement.
No. All we can do is add additional information or a supplement correcting erroneous information in the original report. Once a report is written, it's record.
Most traffic courts allow the issuing officer to 'amend' minor errors on the ticket in court and if all the other identifying information is correct (DOB/drivers license number/etc) and that is the only error, it will not make any difference.
I'd call, or go to, the officers department and ask to have the ticket withdrawn. If not, when you go to court, ask to have the charge dismissed. However, this may not always be a successful ploy. Many times the judge will allow an officer to 'amend' the citation in court.
If all the other information is correct probably not. Courts customarily allow officers to 'amend' the information on the ticket prior to their testimony.
Unless there is some clear doubt that it was you to whom the tickert was issued, you could certainly try, but probably not worth it. If your last name and DOB appears on the ticket there seems to be little doubt that it was you. Most traffic court jusges will allow the officer to verbally "amend" his citation to include the missing information.
Yes. Go to the police station where the report was recorded, state that there are errors in the report and ask to amend the errors accordingly.
Not if the ticket were given to the driver by the officer at the scene. The wrong address is an administrative error and has nothing to do with wherher or not the offense was committed. The driver receiving the ticket has been given notice of the charge and the trial date and court location would be on the ticket. Most state laws would allow the officer to amend the ticket anyway. Drivers, especially from out-of-state, are not going to get out of tickets on little technicalities like that. Now, if the ticket were mailed to the driver at the wrong location and if he were convicted for failing to show up in court, the ticket would still not be dismissed, but any conviction would be set aside and things would start over again.
