82mph in a 65mph Zone, Cop Says He Paced Me with His Cruiser

Wait, lets back up for a minute... What did you mean when you posted this:

i just got the ticket in the mail

Do you mean that you just got the courtesy notice?

Did you not sign a "ticket" when you were pulled over?

sorry for not being clear, i got the notice in the mail. and yes i did have to sign the ticket the day of the citation. im going to go ahead and call the court and see if i have anything under my name.

i got the notice in the mail.

OK, so just keep in mind that the "notice" that you received is merely a courtesy notice (a reminder) from the court to you, and the information contained therein (and while it should reflect accurate information), any inaccuracies contain in it are irrelevant... meaning you have no argument that your appearance or response to the citation should be waived simply based on erroneous information in the "courtesy notice".

and yes i did have to sign the ticket the day of the citation.

And therefore, you are still obligated to fulfill the "promise to appear" which you made when you signed the citation.

While you can argue that information on the citation or on the courtesy notice is incorrect or inaccurate when you are in court, such argument, in my opinion, will not get you a dismissal. Your defense should be based upon the elements of the violation that you allegedly committed.

but i called in the court, and they told me there is no tickets under your name? your saying i should beg them to find my ticket and put it under my name? what your saying is really not making sense. i know the courts work on a fast pace and obviously they are not going to hunt and invetigate where that ticket came from and who signed the ticket, as far as they know nothing matches up. it did not enter into there computer data base since nothing matched up. not even the name. so the ticket has not even gone into trial, its been lost. the info must have been entered manually and then sent to my address, then they must have tried to enter it into the system and it did not work. so what do i have to contest? there is nothing under my name.

OK, then don't listen to what I'm saying... Pretty simple, don't you think?

Just keep in mind that you signed a citation which (I am assuming) had your correct driver's license number on it. And by signing it, you made a promise to appear/pay on or before a certain date. Failing to do so carries certain consequences (the details of which, I already outlined to you)...

Go with what "makes sense" (to you) and pretend it never happened!

Good luck
