Police Officer in PA needed
HI,
I would like to have a police officers opinion on this. My Camaro has been driven about 1500 miles in the past 2 years. I actually just installed a new rear and engine work. The car has been down for months. Well the inspection was due in November of last year and I finally got the car running this past weekend and i got pulled over and recieved a ticket for expired inspection sticker. Well, I made an appointment and got the inspection completed no problem. Also i was looking at the ticket and he put down the make is a camero, not camaro. What are my chances for getting out of this?
Thanks,

I don't think you're going to get out for a spelling mistake since he probably wrote up the license plate or vin/registration number.
Trying to fight it, the judge is probably going to ask why you were driving it when you hadn't needed to drive it in over a year, and of course, which came first, the ticket or the appointment to get it inspected.
How expensive of a ticket was it?

Spelling Mistakes, color Mistakes, etc on Citations are NOT a reason for dismissal. The only way that it would be reason for dismissal would be that it "caused the defendant the inability to defend themselves."
IE: writing the wrong violation description (if I caught you speeding but put a vehicle code that does not exist)
HOWEVER.... if you were not rude, and you didnt **** off the Officer, take the car and prove that its now inspected (make sure there are no other violations though) and it will most likely be dismissed...

To the op, in SA we have 10 days after a ticket to correct the problem as far as inspection or registration only pay a 20$ dismissed the ticket. Not sure how over there works But the back of the ticket should tell you.
Edit: listen to that guy ^he should know more than anyone and maybe he gave you the ticket

I wasnt rude at all. I said yes sir and. No sir to his questions. He was very rude though. I asked questions and he was very snippy with me. I dont know why though. I tried to explain that the car has bit been driven and i was going to get it inspected this week which i did. Why wouldnt he give me a warning and if i didnt get it fixed the proceed with the ticket. The ticket is 111the dollars.

Ok so getting out of the ticket is probably not going to happen.
Should i write a letter to the bourogh mentioning how rude and snippy the officer was. As a citizen of the bourogh i deserve to be treated with respect since my tax dollars is paying his salary. He shouldnt be treating any of the citizens of the borough the way he
treated me. Should recimmend that our tax dollars go to providing classes for the officers of the borough on how to treat people with respect. Should i have them read the letter in the records at the next borough meeting.

IN THE END, you were driving a vehicle that was not inspected on a public roadway. You rolled the dice, and you got caught. Its one thing to have been on your way to the inspection, but you werent.

I got a ticket for no inspection once, got the car inspected, went to court, got it dismissed no problem.
But there's no way in hell they'll dismiss your ticket just for a spelling error. That would be absurd. Just imagine how it would go down in court... "Your honor, I ask that this citation be dismissed on the grounds that the officer used an E instead of an A when writing Camaro."

So you are pissed that you got a ticket in your car that has a inspection sticker from 2011? Just go to court and show them you got it inspected and maybe they will dissmiss it!! No need to be angry at anyone.. Its your own fault you got the ticket!!
