99FLHRCI Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 First off, I broke the law and got caught. I am prepared to face the penalty. When the Deputy stopped me, I never was told what I was stopped for or being cited for. He simply asked for license and insurance, went to his vehicle, came back and told me to sign my citation and write my phone number. After I read the citation to see what speed he got me at and signed it, he then gave me the speech about the signature is not admission of guilt and to pay the ticket or go to court. Now for the questions. Here is the problems. He did not fill in ANY of the summons information. No court, no date, no time. How do I find out when/where to pay my ticket by or go to court? He also did not sign or print his name, badge, cruiser or district number. He did not fill in my present address. He also did not mark if it was ORC, ORD, or T.P. code that he was citing me under. He even wrote that I was clocked using laZer. I would think he could take the time to actually write the whole ticket and also spell it correctly. He had already checked the box marked laser. He could have just copied the spelling from there. I also only received a light green/blue copy of the ticket. No fine list, no envelope to send it to the court in, nothing at all. Is this because of cut backs due to the economy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboNova Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 ..... interesting. Well if you got pulled over in Franklin County, You can call down to the Franklin County clerk of courts at 375 S High and tell them you citation number and your name and they can give you your fine. There should of at least been your court date on there. I dont know who pulled you over or where so I can not speak for that agency on how there ticket is done or filled out.

Mensan Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 You can take this to court and probably will win. You will most likely pay more in legal fees than the ticket costs to pay, and it's more of a pain in the ass. Your call (to a lawyer).

TurboNova Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 You will still be getting court costs plus your day without work or a morning off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or he can take an hour to educate himself on vocabulary and represent himself in court. The cop either being dumb or lazy has given him perfect leverage. You don't need to pay a lawyer to speak a paragraph to the magistrate and walk out with court fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XChris1632X Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 It almost sounds like he was fucking with you. I mean they do have to turn that stuff in right? If I wrote something like that, I wouldnt want to turn it in to my boss. Maybe he didnt have any plans of turning it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boosted98gst Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Long story short I was pulled over on 33 for no front plate and given a ticket, long story short he short tryed to short cut the same way, he used no lights, did not fill in the proper stuff on the ticket and it was dismissed. before even paying money you can talk to legal help and they will tell you if it has a chance or not.

crewsy49 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 If you decide to pay the ticket do what I did, in the memo section of the check put "Miscarriage of Justice". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99FLHRCI Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 It is not listed on the website and the court has no record of it. They told me my court date is either this Friday or next Friday and he doesn't have to turn it in until that day and my fine is also due the same day. The best they can tell me to do is to keep calling back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ticket has to be filed immediately with his day's paperwork, and the clerk has to have it on file so you can have access to it while preparing a defense if you choose to fight it. Take it to court. The judge will toss it. Ask to have court costs waived. Afterwards, I'd give the nearest station a call and ask the Captain to review the ticket...
