I received a ticket from an officer code 41-6a-601on my ticket. Said I was speeding 52 mph in a 25 mph. On the ticket it also shows He charged me at 32mph over. I called the Court and they said I have a mandatory appearance. I asked why. I was told because I’m being charged with reckless driving and they gave this code 41-6a-528.
I said that’s not correct. The receptionist said that’s what we have in our system and that’s what I’m being charged with. Is that legal to change my ticket? And how do I find out if they have a typo?
A: Generally speaking the Court will set a mandatory appearance for anything 31 mph over the speed limit. While the charges in court generally match a citation, it is not impossible to add other charges. I would recommend contacting a local attorney to help address this issue. They should be able to search by name to see what the current charges are.
