I was speeding in NY, but the cop wrote down the wrong make, model and year of my car. I drive a grey 2004 mazda, he wrote down green 1986 buick but he wrote the corrrect license plate down. Can I get out of this ticket?
So who is going to pay for your speeding?cliffman said:I was speeding in NY, but the cop wrote down the wrong make, model and year of my car. I drive a grey 2004 mazda, he wrote down green 1986 buick but he wrote the corrrect license plate down. Can I get out of this ticket?

Then again, 2 cars can't have the same license plate number at the same time!!You Are Guilty said:If you mean "get out" as in "not have to pay for", then no.
If you mean "get out" as in "have a good argument this cop is mistake prone and nothing he says should be believed", then yes.
Otherwise, the ticket is not the evidence against you (the officer's testimony in court is). So incorrect ticket info won't, in and of itself, get you "out" of it. On the other hand, most officers use the ticket info to "refresh their recollections" on the stand (there's no way for them to independantly remember every stop that they made unless you did something stupid during it to make it stand out among thousands).
If that's the case, and you can get the officer to testify that he stopped you in your green 1986 Buick for speeding, you can whip out your registration and prove that wasn't your car.
Yeah, this sounds legal... kinda like those "repair or erase bad credit now!" scams...James Young said:This tells you how to defend yourself. However, the first thing to do is delay, delay, delay. Write the court to postpone the court date, citing legal research. Ask for a copy (front and back) of the officer’s copy of the citation and any other documents that he or the court produced. The longer you can delay this, the better for you.
Yep. It's just a normal part of discovery. The prosecution is required to provide it. And delaying tactics are just that, tactics.gryndor said:Yeah, this sounds legal... kinda like those "repair or erase bad credit now!" scams...
I love it. The stupid leading the blind. Have fun pissing the judge off.cliffman said:James,
Thank you. Finally I got someone who doesn't want to talk down to me as if I'm trying to get away with murder. Its just a traffic ticket and there isnt one person out there who hasn't gone over speed limit at some point or another.
I will look into the NMA and see how that goes. Thanks for the help.
In case you didn't know it, judges deal with discovery every session of court. They understand it and you obviously don't. I suppose the stupid leading the blind is preferable to the deceitful leading the unknowing.BelizeBreeze said:I love it. The stupid leading the blind. Have fun pissing the judge off.
