Legal Question in Traffic Law in Washington

Re: Wrong information on ticket

No, this would not provide a defense in a traffic citation case. It is a minor error that has not prejudiced you in any way, so the judge is likely to overlook the officer�s mistake. But there are many ways in which to prevail in a traffic citation case. If the ticket is not filed within 72 hours, if the officer�s affidavit is not signed at all or perhaps not signed properly, or if the ticket cites the wrong section of the law. If it�s a speeding ticket, you could maybe subpoena the expert and win if he or she fails to come to court. You may want to have an experienced lawyer look at your ticket. Legal fees on a thing like this are more affordable then you may think.
