So ah get a ticket...

[janfar]

... in the heart a Grande. Eating a doubles, parked on the left side opposite kayepsee. I see ah sergeant and bout 5 junior WPC. Apparently they training.

So ah know im wrong. So i walk to the car and shout out 'PCA 1261, just so yuh know' and get in a sit together with the chicks i was moving with.

One young one, WPC Skeete (yeh, Skeete) walks up to car and asks for liscense and insurance. Give it to her, then she proceeds to ask if i know why she writing ticket. I say no and she says because i parked in no parking zone. So i say, well i watching both signs and they look more than 10m away (i think thats in regs) and i could be right, but we will meet in court to discuss.

Now note, i just playing the ass cause 200ttd ticket aint really worth my time from work.

Anyway, she goff up she chest, swell up she mouth and run by the sergeant. So he come, "Mr, ah hear yuh want to contest this ticket in court"

Me: buh boss, i have rights to contest anything in court.

Dibble: ok, well we will meet and debate it.

Me: kool sir, thanks.

She come give me my ticket and explain how i have 2 weeks to pay or appear in court blah blah blah.

So ah take meh ticket, hand the girl in the back and they reading it out to me.

"Take note that I #6565 WPC Skeete have reason to believe that you *my name* of *my address* and holder of dp *my dp#* have commited an offense the particulars of which are written hereunder un respect to Motor Vehicle Number PCA 1264 silver Nissan B15 PCA 1264.

You will still have to pay... this is a third world country... with third world laws, third world police and greedy GFN polis#itans!!

In a 1st world country you could contest and win.

[SmokeyGTi]

that is not your car sah

you don't h ave to pay one fart. just tell the judge that you don't drive any vehicle with that registration number.

[Kongorealm]

wouldn't the court throw out the case based on the fact that the information on the ticket is not accurate i.e. the registration number wrong?

I believe I overheard something like this and the person won the case based on that fact alone...correct me if I'm wrong

[homeboy]

this happen to me with the officer putting the wrong date on the ticket and it pass didn't have to pay....he come home and wanted to change it....

[slow323]

wrong lic number so you are in the right if you go to court, if the ticket is

written up wrong the court will dismiss but get a good lawyer just in case

officer show up and speak a different tale

it wont be the first time this happened

plus its negligence on their part that they didn't check your plates

themselves

how often do officers even appear in court for traffic offenses?

Once information on the ticket is wrong and you go to court the case would be dismissed. Just tell the magistrate that you don't own PCA 1264. The magistrate suppose to pull up the police for their error.

It is 'common practice' in sweet 'ole T&T that any ticket or charge can be so ammended by the officer who wrote the ticket or made out the charge so as to more accurately reflect the details of such. This 'common prctive' includes tickets recording incorrect information , such as; the vehicle number, location of offence and even the persons name. The justice system in this country is a pack of s#it!

[Mr Gear]

Pull the newspapers for the past week, there were cases published that were thrown out because of inaccurate information on the ticket.

The real argument that you have to raise in court is that on the material date and time it appears that the constable's powers of observation were not at its best. The constable could barely observe the number plate and write it on the ticket. It is reasonable to believe that the constable being in that distracted state did not in fact observe you breaching the law as alleged by the officer. This strengthens your argument that you were such and such feet away from the closest no parking sign.

Good luck. I would contest this one and would most likely win. The Constable will hunt for you to breach the law again but once she is a shitty constable she will always be a shitty constable.

But as citizens and taxpayers these fools work for us. How can we sit idly by and let these incompetent fools continue this behaviour. Can we not file a complaint against the officer bringing into question their competence and even... dare I say it... their intellect (or lack thereof)?!

I don't think officers take this seriously, but licencing officers is a different kettle of fish.

Normally, traffic tickets can be amended if the vehicle number is incorrectly stated, or the place where the offence occurred. Any fact which does not affect the truthfulness of the offence committed can be amended. However, the particulars of an offence cannot be changed.

posted this a while back..

still don't see how the truth is NOT affected by the change in number plate as it was not car number .

[Ignorant Ignis]

i got a ticket and paid it a few years back ..as going to court was a waste of my time ...

but the officer wrote the wrong date on it ...... could that have been thrown out .. or are they allowed to change that ?
