More facts would be needed to get a full response to this question.
A police officer cannot give a speeding ticket, for example, based on a witnesses statement that the witness saw the person speeding. On the other hand, a witness that saw a person speeding may be able to testify at court... Read more »

In South Carolina, you would need to register for and eventually complete the Alcohol Drug Safety Action Program (ADSAP) before driving privileges could be restored on a route-restricted basis.

Very good that you recognize that a lawyer can assist you.

Not enough context is in the post, but the answer of whether or not you can is yes. But there's more to your situation than what you have stated in your post.

what's your question? If he showed up to court, he'll likely go in front of the judge for the hearing, despite being late.

Even if the officer violated laws that you’re complaining about it doesn’t help you in your criminal case.
Does that answer your question?

Yes, the ticket is still valid. It may go to credibility of the testifying officer but that omission, in itself, is not enough to make the ticket invalid.

Something is missing here but I would recommend that you contact a criminal defense lawyer or a few of them in the area where you are being prosecuted------discuss your matter with the lawyers and then hire the one with whom you are most comfortable. Good luck.

A local attorney must advise you because different jurisdictions can apply different doctrines for apportioning liability when multiple parties are to blame. But your question remains open for three weeks. From a textbook standpoint, the infraction against you could result in liability on your... Read more »
I’m put the plate from one vehicle that I own onto another vehicle that I own until I could get to the court house and get them transferred. I got stopped by a policeman and cited for fictitious tags.
answered on Dec 31, 2021
Yes, the police can ticket you for this even if you are the owner of both vehicles. In Arkansas, tags are assigned to only one vehicle unless they are dealer tags.
I've never had a charge. My record is squeaky clean.

It sounds like you may have some good facts to fight your case with. You should visit with a defense attorney to get an assessment of your case and possible defenses.

I assume that you were charged with possession of drug paraphernalia. First, did the police have cause to stop you and to search your vehicle? Did you consent to a search? Was the unused needle in your vehicle for a legitimate reason? There are many facts that may determine the course that you take... Read more »
it was night time and an officer pulled me over because he said he couldn't see my license plate even though there was no obstruction and he was well over 50 ft away

No, not if the light was working that illuminates the license plate.
And we didn't exchange insurance information. They pulled her car and mines

An Arkansas attorney should advise here, but your post remains open for two weeks. At the very least, if you haven't already, you could consider a consult with a traffic ticket defense attorney.
There's a lot to sort out here - What was the citation for? Are there plausible... Read more »

Arrested for driving on a suspended private property sign was posted they pushed the vehicle onto the public road out of my yard to load
answered on Jun 1, 2021
I'm not getting why your vehicle was towed. And from private property. Here's the problem--you can go after the person responsible, but in the meantime your car is sitting racking up storage rates at a lot of dollars per day. I suggest you need to talk to the tow people, be very polite,... Read more »
