Generally, a ticket is not a true complaint. But when you pleas guilty/not guilty, you basically agree that it is.
I know that Illinois (http://www.scribd.com/doc/32822372/M...fied-Complaint) and Connecticut (see prac. book 36-11) you can demand a proper complaint to be written by the DA (CT & IL are criminal cases for speeding I think).
Has anyone done this & any results to report? I would think that these type of requests are pre-pleading motions ... so u would need to do the requests or motion prior to pleading non guilty.
