Maine-Speeding ticket--but some information is missing/incorrect

[imjem]

I received a speeding ticket this morning. There is information missing from my ticket---the color of my car and the year are missing/not filled in, and the Body type is listed as a station wagon. My vehicle is a large SUV. I am also at odds with the manner in which they fined me. A traffic detail using 2 officers in separate locations. The officer that pulled me over was not the officer that clocked me. The officer that pulled me over said I and another vehicle were doing 15 over the speed limit and he admitted that he was not the one that had "clocked" me.I completely disagree! I had been stopped at a red light just moments before passing the cop with the laser device. I have been driving for 20+ years and have never had a violation! Is it worth my while to contest this? And if so what is the procedure?

The information that is not filled in doesn't matter and the fact is that your "SUV" IS a "station wagon" (we just don't like to call them that any more)

The issues you raise are not very meaningful and will probably get you nowhere in court. The missing information is not significant and the SUV vs station wagon thing is totally irrelevant.

The fact that the officer who measured your speed did not issue the ticket is also irrelevant - it's perfectly legitimate and enforcement is done this way all the time.

Congratulations on your fine driving record but it will do you no good with this charge. You can obviously fight it but your chances of winning are close to zero based upon your arguments.

If you're that convinced that you're right then you should consult with an attorney about your case. Of course, you are completely ignoring the core issue here - whether or not you were, in fact, speeding.
