The citation is valid. Most parking tickets do not require the officer to sign the ticket. Even if your parking ticket requires the officer to sign the ticket, failure to do so will not invalidate the citation. It is very likely that you will receive a "cite correction letter" of some form in the mail that will indicate that the officer forgot to sign the citation and address the issue. The clerks at the agency where I work return citations to the issuing officer for these type of corrections and our courts will not accept such a citation until the error is fixed. That being said, errors never invalidate a citation. Your best bet is to go to court and challenger the ticket and maybe the agency will not be able to figure out who wrote you the ticket, no one will show up on the police side and the ticket will get thrown out.

Technically, it is not valid. in spite of the undeniable fact that, it relatively is strictly a procedural element and has relatively no bearing on your guilt or innocence. If the courtroom has universal the citation from the officer without signature, then the courtroom of course intends to technique the citation as though it replaced into signed. the reason it is not technically valid is as a results of the fact in case you look the place the officer ought to have signed, it relatively is probably have been given a assertion there approximately being submitted decrease than penalty of perjury at _____ (the call of your city or county). because of the fact the officer is going to be sworn while he testifies on the listening to, this might no longer make any distinction if the citation replaced into submitted with out that signature. are you able to apply it as a protection? specific. in basic terms tell the choose what area of the officer no longer signing the fee ticket has something to do with regardless of if or no longer you have been dashing. And no, you could no longer have a jury trial in California for dashing.

Maybe not. If you contest it, who is going to argue it? Did the guy write down at least the badge number anywhere?
