Delton, MI asked in Traffic Tickets for Michigan

Q: Officer gave me two tickets in the same day at the same time.

the officer pulled me over on the highway and gave me a ticket i paid it in full but then received a letter telling me it had not been paid yet. i assumed i had not paid the whole ticket so i paid the amount they were asking. then i received another letter from the court stating my driving record and it turns out that i had two tickets on the same day by the same officer same time and road but two different speed reports. can i still fight the second ticket?

A: Yes, you should certainly fight the 2 tickets alleging that it is for the same violation until the prosecution can show/prove that the tickets are for different violations.
