A parking ticket will not even have your name. I doubt you could beat that. Ever got a ticket in the mail from a camera at an intersection? I doubt you could fight that one either.





Nope, ain't gonna win. Pay up

Reply:Where you charged with something related to your name? No.


You where charged with speeding. The spelling of your name is irrelevant. Your ticket is merely your notice of violation and order to appear in court. The officer, not the ticket, is the states case. Th officer will testify as to the facts of the case, none of which include your name spelling. The officer can also amend any information with his testimony.





You can feel free to bring it up to te judge, but the very fact you will be seaking to he judge means you know the ticket was issued to you by your showing up. The judge will simply ask you if you are the person named in the ticket and if it was served to you. You can lie and say no and face perjury or admit it is you, making all further name discussion null and void.
Reply:Did you sign it? Were you fingerprinted? A minor mispelling will not help you win. Besides fighting it and losing will generate court cost. Is it worth that? If you must get an attorney to plea it down to a defective motor vehicle or something like that. No points acessed. That is if your state allows such a plea.


Good luck


By the way if you have a horrible driving record don't bother with the plea. You may or may not end up in driving school. .
Reply:Yes you can fight the ticket, no you will not win on those grounds. A typo on the part of the officer is not proof of your innocence to a magistrate. I hope this helps.
Reply:You'll lost on the misspelled name issue.... but you might win with a "criminally stupid" defense...





Give me a break. If you were speeding, just own up to it and be done with it. Sheeeeesh...
Reply:you may but that is a long chance to take. if i was u just get a lawyer to help you in court.
Reply:Nope, generally the courts will let minor spelling errors go.
Reply:generally a minor misspelling or wrong date won't make any difference.
