    Default Wrong Info on Traffic Citation

    My question involves traffic court in the State of: Virginia
    I was issued a citation for failure to stop. I will not waste time with all the details but, the location of the infraction is totally incorrect. It stated it took place on rte 50 and hollywood when we were on rte 29 which is two miles away. Also hollywood does not intersect with rte 50 at any point. Also had the wrong zip code. I think the officer was confused as to where he was. Cna I get it dismissed on the basis that location does not exist and at no time did I travel rte 50 that day??

    Typically, errors on a citation are either corrected in court or the officer will file an amendment correcting the errors before you are arraigned on the charges. However, and since these errors might show that the officer may have lacked the attention span required to include such pertinent information, you might be able to argue that he could have also lacked the attention span when he alledges he saw you failing to stop.
