It is highly unusual for them to not put the controlled substance; however, the information should be further explained in a supplemental report. Your best bet is going to be to get with an experienced criminal defense lawyer to talk about the ins and outs of the case. While the wrong information... Read more »

It really depends on how bad the information is. If it is a completely different vehicle and absolutely nothing matches up, then there is a better chance of having the ticket thrown out, or at the very least casting the officer's story into question.
Have there been certain circumstances where a ticket or affidavit isn’t filed because the officer knew he did multiple things wrong
answered on Jul 24, 2022
It really depends on the circumstances. Lots of officers will still file charges regardless of their own conduct; however, if an officer has said that they are pressing charges, then the best thing to do would be to follow up with the local court periodically to see if they did.
I live in a small town in Mississippi as where the police dept I believe don't just do their job in some aspects but go far above and beyond the area of rights and I feel the deliberate disregard for one's rights giving the date place. And whom they are stopping!!! It's as if... Read more »

Without more information, it's very hard to answer your question. Generally speaking, officers and prosecutors have a lot of discretion when it comes to prosecuting or pursuing charges against a person. Even if charges are filed, they can decide to drop the case or drop only certain parts of it.
Wrote the ticket when i was in a store and after which I came out to him asking for the placard which I provided he didn’t put my name on the ticket and he put the wrong street on it do i have a chance of fighting it?
answered on Jul 12, 2022
Typically, unless your name is on the ticket, then there is not proper notice of a charge. Regardless, because you provided a placard, you have a good chance at getting the ticket dismissed, assuming that the officer turned in the ticket. Your best bet is probably going to be to contact the court... Read more »
Cost and can it be dismissed because of incorrect info on year of car
answered on Jun 26, 2022
No, they will simply amend the ticket to show the correct year.
The court said I had to pay it. However, a reputable business did the tint and when I got it tested by another business, it is indeed legal all the way around the car. How can I provide this to court after I've already had court? It seems asinine (and more like theft) to force someone to pay a... Read more »

Unfortunately, if you have already been found guilty, then you are precluded from being able to bring in new evidence that you could have gotten prior to your court date.
I came up on an accident as I was headed home from work. As I approached the scene I was flagged to come on by so I proceeded through. As I was passing through the apparent supervisor hollered at me to “slow down” at this point I was maybe doing 5-10 mph on an extremely narrow road. So I keep... Read more »

The issuance of a citation/ticket under these circumstances is most likely valid, however the ticket is simply an accusation that you committed an infraction-----based on your post, there are legal defenses available to you, as well as perhaps the less than common sense of the EMS people out there,...

I got 2 traffic ticket yesterday. Both of them got the year of the car 2023 but it's a 2002 model. Can I get both of the tickets dismissed by a judge because of that mistake?
answered on May 13, 2022
Unfortunately, with the way that traffic tickets work in Mississippi, the fact that the law enforcement officer wrote down the wrong year does not automatically lead to a dismissal, as it is considered a simple error.
Got 2 tickets today for no license and not stopping at a stop sign. But the officer wrote on both tickets it's a 2023 the year of the car. But it's a 2002 model.

The vehicle is swerving and its a two lane straight away ,I speed up just to pass and then return to the speed limit is this illegal?
answered on May 9, 2022
If you are travelling over the speed limit and you are pulled over for speeding, then it's a valid ticket. You have the right to contest the ticket and depending on the circumstances you might prevail. The best chance at prevailing would be if you had a traffic ticket attorney representing... Read more »

You will need to call either the Municipal Court or Justice Court listed on the bottom of the ticket and ask the Clerk’s office.
