Q: If the officer gave me a ticket for no license and no insurance, and he wrote the wrong location and time is dismissabl?
A: This question gets asked all the time. An error like that is not automatically going to result in dismissal of the ticket. Those errors can be amended by the prosecutor. There might be other issues that could benefit from a conversation with a defense attorney.
A: Not for that reason alone, though it may help a defense attorney with other challenges to the prosecution. Get a valid license and insurance now. And help from a criminal defense lawyer could make the difference in preventing a criminal conviction record, and preventing an additional driver's license suspension period.
