I was charged with some traffic violations from a city police officer. The next day at 1:30 AM he knocks on an obviously dark and slumbering house and I was unable to get to the door before he left. When I woke up later that morning I called the police station and asked them about the preceding night, they took my phone number and said the officer would call me.
When the officer called me back he said that he was calling to inform me they forgot to mark negligent driving on my ticket, he wanted me to mark it on the ticket. He had stated that he had tried to get a hold of me twice prior.
I live in Nebraska, and the ticket was from a Lincoln Police officer in Lancaster county. (I do not know if the rules change from state/county/city)
Can he do this?

NO! He cannot add other charges to a citation after you have already signed it, especially after you have left the scene of the traffic stop. If YOU haven't already remarked the ticket as he said, DON'T! He might be able to add other charges if you have outstanding violations on your record, but even tho it'll cost you for a lawer, they'd probably be a cakewalk to beat in court.
In fact, if the charges are serious enough, especially if you beat them in court, HE could be brought up on charges of falsifying legal documents! If this is serious enough, best get yourself a good lawyer & pay him to do the paperwork.
Besides, this 1:30 am visit sounds REALLY FISHY to me & rates investigation on its' own. If I was you, I'd contact the dept. Internal Affairs.

I live in New Jersey, and the officers have 30 days to add to the summons or write additional summonses.

Yes - for instance - if you are sighted for speeding, and at the time, the computer is unavailable to run your license.
When he gets back and checks it, and finds out it is suspended, you will have driving on a suspended license added to the ticket.
Happens all the time.
