What is the name of your state? Washington
Greetings from gray and damp Seattle, Washington. I've combed through the forums and the issue of no signature on the citation has been been discussed quite a bit and I apologize if we're beating a dead horse.
But here's what's interesting about my citation. I've gotten speeding tickets before and everytime the officer brings the citation to me, I sign it, he tears it off and keeps a carbon copy for himself. Pretty standard stuff. But this time the officer gave me my copy without me signing it. I talked to a co-worker and he told me he's seen tix dismissed for missing signature.
The twist is the words on the defendant signature field: WITHOUT ADMITTING TO HAVING COMMITTED EACH OF THE ABOVE OFFENSES, BY SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT I ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE OF INFRACTION AND PROMISE TO RESPOND AS DIRECTED ON THIS NOTICE.
The key word is RECEIPT. I didn't sign it, which means I didn't legally(?) receive the citation thus voiding it. This is what my co-worker's saying - is he correct?
Much obliged!
