What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I received a ticket for Traffic Citation for 24250 CVC - Lighting During Darkness
"During darkness, a vehicle shall be equipped with lighted lighting equipment as required for the vehicle by this chapter."
The officer who pulled me over cited Defective Tail-Lights; doesn't cvc 24250 really pertain to whether you're using your headlights?
The cop asked me about the tail lights, showed me the defective tail lights, and never once mentioned the head lights during the stop. I didn't notice the discrepancy until I had fixed the tail lights and went to get the ticket cleared at the local sheriff's station.
I just had my arraignment and pleaded "Not Guilty."
How do I get the ticket switched to a "fix-it" ticket, since the cop issued (as far as I understand the law) the wrong violation code on the ticket?
Shouldn't I be getting something like this instead? 24252(a) "Lighting equipment of required type, maintain in good working order." V C Section 24252 Lighting Equipment Requirements
What evidence will I need to prove my case?
Thanks so much. I could really use the money from a win here. I've done research on speeding ticket cases, but haven't found any information pertaining specifically to my problem.
