A Police Officer gave me a citation that was written wrong, can it be reduced or thrown out?

i got pulled over tonight doing a 45 in a 35. the officer approched me and said you know why you were pulled over. i said because i was speeding. he said you were doing 10 over the speed limit. i gave him my info, he wrote me up a ticket and i was on my way.
when i was reviewing the ticket i noticed that he had put that i was going 45 mph in a 35 mph, but where it says fines it says 88 dollars for going between 11-15. can i get this dropped or at least reduced?

You may get it reduced if you go to court and point out that you were going 10mph over and not 11-15. But remember, that is probably just the 'base' fine. With additional court costs, admin fees, etc that they tack on, Im bettin you are going to end up paying more. |

ask the judge. there are cops that will give you the 10 mph leeway, and not pull you over...but there are cops who will get you going 3 miles over the limit. speeding is speeding...it will depend on what the judge decides. There is probably a small fine for going up to 10 mph's over the posted speed limit. |

You are not likely to get it thrown out but almost any ticket can be reduced if you talk to the right people. The type of misinformation that can get a ticket thrown out are stuff like wrong court time, date or address. Also putting down your personal information incorrectly can be cause for dismissal. |

Not in todays economy. The police are now revenue generators instead of public sevants to the people in society. |

Talk to the judge or prosecutor when you arrive at court. Either way you are speeding so just pay the fine. |

No, it will not be reduced. There is no mistake. The officer is making up for the standard deviation in the speed detection equipment. |
