Q: If over half ticket says n/a and multiple parts of the ticket are not correct can my charges be dismissed
Possession charge. Was pulled over and not given a reason as to why he was pulling me over , he never asked for my insurance or for my registration , never asked for the name of my passenger , searched me without giving a reason even when I asked , got the zip code and model of my car wrong , and only put “N/A” under all 6 categories: EXPLANATION , year of car, color of car, phone number, hair color , AND section number. didn’t specify what schedule the substances were, and did not include what amount of said substance was found. Can my charges be dismissed ?
A: Potentially. Tickets, like all other charges, are supposed to have enough information to advise the person of what they are being charged with. Your best bet is going to be to get with an experienced criminal defense lawyer to discuss the facts and circumstances of the case, particularly the stop, and develop a plan of action to suppress the evidence or otherwise seek a dismissal of the case.
