    Question Disputing a Ticket Over Time Error After Officer Forgot Daylight Savings Time

    My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Washington

    The officer printed the violation date of the ticket on or about: Mar 22 2015 @ 11:30 but forgot about day light savings.

    I have a dash cam that records my driving from 11:30 to 11:40 which shows that I wasn't pulled over
    I have the footage of earlier 10:30 to 10:40 where I was pulled over.

    Is this a contestable point?

    How do you prove your dash cam was set to correct time? If the officer forgot daylight savings, the time on the ticket would be 1 hour earlier—not later. It sounds to me like your dash cam was still on standard time.

    You didn’t say what your ticket was for or which court, but for many offenses in Bellevue if you contest you can speak to the prosecutor at the hearing a few minutes before and get the charge amended to 11.48.040 Inattention, which is a municipal ordinance that won’t go on your state driving record. Also if you request discovery there’s a chance you might find a contestable issue. For more information, read the sticky thread Procedural Guide to Traffic Tickets in Washington State.
