Q: Is a speeding ticket voidable if it contains inaccurate information?
I was issued a speeding ticket in Tangipahoa Parish. The trooper put the incorrect time, 1045 instead of 945, and also the wrong registration expiration year, 2021 instead of 2022. Am I able to contest the ticket as voidable for inaccurate information?
A: You can contest it for that reason and it is up to the Judge to decide if that makes the entire ticket suspect.
A: No. The errors are harmless and not prejudicial to you.
A: You can contest it and if done properly it attacks the credibility of the trooper but it still may not be enough to cast reasonable doubt whether or nor you were speeding----in that regard, it's sorta what is the allegation of how many mphs you were speeding.
