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... View 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.

Potentially; however, the question is really going to turn on whether the officer corrects the mistake and gives you the correct ticket at some point, which could include the day that you are supposed to be appear before the court.

Unfortunately, without more information, there is not enough information to go on. I would highly recommend that you reach out to a lawyer to go over the facts and circumstances of your case, so that you can determine what can be done.

What is your question? The excerpt does not mean that the ability to drive is a right. This part of the holding is referring to an individual’s right to operate a motor vehicle free from interference from law enforcement absent a good faith belief, or observation, of criminal conduct on the part...

It sounds like you have 4 paper violations----if you can cure the paper violations and provide proof that you have them taken care of, then the prosecution is likely to provide you with an offer to resolve the matter, maybe even dropping them completely.

It would severely weaken the prosecution's case; however, it does not necessarily make it go away. What ultimately happens depends on the facts and circumstances that occurred, as well as what is presented at trial.

It's not illegal simply to ask that it be removed. Sometimes, the trooper is willing to work with people, but it all depends on the trooper and the circumstances.

Long story short, the police officer can keep the traffic ticket in active status until the person ends up going to court, even if it is until May.

Assuming that the ticket has the location on it, as it should, one of the things that you can do is take a picture of the signs indicating what the speed limit is, and perhaps cross reference it with Google Maps.

If it is blank, then it does not have the legally required information on it to be considered a valid ticket. That being said, you may want to double check and see if there is a court date for your daughter, just in case the officer does submit something.

Likely it will not be dismissed, as those are minor details; however, they can certainly be used to show that the officer was not doing their job properly. From the looks of it, though, the major thing that you should be concerned about is the DUI, as the penalties on that are much harsher.

Potentially yes. You will need to make sure that you show the court that your tag was not actually expired when you received the ticket.

Yes, there are other ways for an officer to determine your speed.

No, however it could depending on whether the prosecution offers a plea.

It likely will not be dismissed. The prosecutor will likely try to file a motion to amend the ticket to reflect the correct information.

Yes, please see below.

No. The court will have a copy.

A Mississippi attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. Probably, because in many places, that could prevent passing safety inspection. For more precise state-specific standards, a local attorney would know DMV safety checklist best. Good luck
