What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia
I was pulled over by a police officer. I gave him my licence and he returned to his cruiser. He came back, handed my license back, and said he had a call he had to go to. I assumed that I was let off. This is NOT a case of me refusing to sign a ticket. I was never presented one.
I found out 2 months later that the officer must have still processed the ticket by a letter in the mail informing me of a warrent for my arrest due to not appearing in court. I rescheduled the court date and the warrent was dropped. I acquired a copy of the ticket from the court offices. It looks like a computer generated copy of the ticket. There was no handwriting on it. Also, my signature (obviously) and the officers signature was not on my copy.
I wanted to know if I had any grounds for dismissal? If so, is it governed by written law or covered by caselaw? And, what is that case law?
Thanks for any help.
