Q: If a police offer cites me on a ticket for a street which he did not pull me over on, is the ticket valid?
I am a delivery driver so i was parked on a street in my town and i realized the cop behind me. I thought it was him just doing routine patrolling but now I understand he was probably looking me up. I entered my car again and went back on two separate highways briefly to drive back to my job, and he pulls me over about 5 minutes later on a different street. However on the ticket he didn’t list the street he pulled me over on, he listed the street where he first saw me and I had no clue what he was doing. Is this ticket legal?
A: Yes the ticket is legal you may be able to fight it but it would probably be considered a clerical error at best. Get yourself a good lawyer most of us offer free in office consultations and we should be able to help you get the result you want. Just make sure you get a good lawyer.
