    Default Can You Get a Dismissal Based on an Error on a Ticket

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Connecticut
    Let's say a person is given a ticket for an infraction an a state statute says it needs to be within a certain price and it exceeds the price, can that lead dismissal. An example; the person has to pay no more than $50 but no less than $25. The ticket charge is $75. Can someone win with this defense? The statue (Which means law) states that. In my mind, the higher price makes the ticket invalid.

    No, the fine being incorrect will not lead to a dismissal, just a correction of the fine amount. I suspect the $75 is not incorrect. While the fine is likely capped at $50, there are other fees that are authorized by the legislature that bring the total you must pay up to $75. You're certainly entitled to ask the court clerk for a break down on this.

    The officer who wrote you the ticket used a published fine schedule from the Superior Court. So either that book is wrong or he happened to write down the fine incorrectly - either way it's not a big deal.

    How do you know what the correct fine should be??

    What infraction is it?
