I got a speeding ticket in Virginia. There is a long form the officer has to fill out. There are 2 areas which say "time".
He wrote two different times (1 was correct).
Does this invalidate the ticket?

Yea it might only be a speeding ticket but the time is still pretty damn important. If cops can just write down any time for any crime how many innocent people would go to jail?

Oh well guess I just gotta pay it. That sucks.

I used to be a police officer. He can amend the ticket when you go to court. It is still a valid ticket.

If you're not a resident of Virginia, BE GLAD! If you are a resident, I feel for you. I hate the new fines for speeding (only if you were going 20 or more over the limit). The DUI I get, but I think the fines for speeding are ridiculous.

Quit looking for ways out of your ticket. Pay up.

No sorry. All they have to do is send a letter advising you they made a correction to their copy of the ticket.
The judge is usually not concerned with minor details.

No. Minor clerical errors do not invalidate a ticket. You can fight it on that basis if you want, the judge could use a good laugh.

If you dispute that ticket you can settle in recorders court or pay the sum biotch and let it go.

no i dont believe so...human error does occur....if you end up going to court you may be able to get it thrown out because if the officer made and error on the ticket then whose to say he wasnt entirely in error?....i just dont think so though

No.
Clerical errors do not absolve you of the responsibility of paying for your ticket.

as one person has already said "time" is important and you can use that to call the ticket into question.

Ya, right...he wrote the time wrong now you don't have to pay the ticket and you are the default owner of his house and dog.
