Q: I received a ticket for speeding and 2 civil infractions. Cop dropped original ticket and court date issued new ticket
The problem is with the new ticket when he came to my house he said he’s dropping the speeding but not the suspended licenses or failure for registration. Mind you I took his advise got the registration and my license done same day online. They said I missed court but I have an email saying they canceled it. Also with the new ticket he didn’t write the date I should be to the court house to get the issue resolved every time I stopped by the courthouse he didn’t have it in the system yet. So they kept saying just stop back by. I hear nothing they said they will have him resolve it I stop in I find out it’s now a misdemeanor and I have two civil infractions. How is this right when I notice when speaking to the magistrate out tickets don’t match. Like I said the cop failed to include the timeframe from my original June 8 ticket what date I was to appear by the court yet I stopped in 10 days from when he issued the ticket but it wasn’t in the system. Should I take it to court. will I win
A: You should take it to court, and when you talk with a prosecutor, they'll probably straighten some of this out.
