Most likely, this will not get the ticket thrown out. Very rarely will the court disallow the ticket because the wrong township was written. Regardless, pleading not guilty and requesting a hearing is always recommended. The driver can benefit by having a hearing. More often, however, the ticket can be resolved through the mail with minimal time on your part. Hiring an experienced traffic attorney in the area that understands the use of radar, its accuracy, and the certifications required to use it properly is vital to not only trying to win, but to keep your insurance premiums lower for years to come. Paying a little today may save you two or three times in the future.

It is possible to get your ticket dismissed but its unlikely. In the event that your ticket is dismissed, in many circumstances, the officer can re-issue you a new summons with the correct information. My office handles many ticket matters.
