    Default Seeking a Formal Complaint for a Speeding Ticket

    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.

    Thanks Knowitall. But I cannot find any court opinions in CT & IL (via lexis) in with the citizen requested an information to replace the citation. And since I dont think that they would do the paperwork for a traffic ticket, and a violation of the court rules can result in dismissal, I was wondering if anyone has done this (the defendant requesting an information).

    Also, in CT, anyone charged by an information would likely be afforded a jury trial if desired. So requesting an information would have a 2 fold reason in CT: 1st) to require all the facts and charges to be formalized and 2) allow for a jury demand
