Ticket for Tint

[Randolph Inshan]

Goodnight,
I need some advise on a ticket i got today at Rivulet Road Roundabout. At about 4 p.m there was a roadblock and I was stopped for having 50% tint on my front windshield of my Ford Ranger. I told the police officer I was willing to remove the tint but he instead gave me a $ 2000 ticket. However, my last name was spelt incorrectly, Maharajh instead of Maharaj and in the vehicle description the officer wrote silver ford hilux. Should i challenge this ticket in court based on these mistakes or just pay the fixed penalty ?
Thanks for the advice.

Yes, your Brahmin status has been insulted.

[Randolph Inshan]

lol@ Bizzare, but will this stand up in court, in terms of arguing my identity ?

[Trini Hookah]

Not only identity, the identification of vehicle as well.

As I have said before, RS is probably the only officer in the force that could boast some proficiency in the English language.

sounds just about right......PM stock.....he would advise u and also seek a lil advice from a lawyer....

OP i am sure you got a good laugh when u say the mistakes....

Remember the qualifications to become an officer is real questionable...some ah these guys cant write properly at all......sad to say......

[Peanut Punch]

that's a good one ... don't they copy info from ur license & insurance cert.?? that 's ridiculous but the error is in ur favor lol

[hustla_ambition101]

He get the number plate correct, didn't he?

[VexXx Dogg]

pay your ticket.
If you contest it, the magistrate will rape you with a 3-4K fine.

[GReddy23]

once your name or dp # is incorrect on a ticket, then its considered void
you don't have to pay anything, you can verify this with an police officer

fyi 50% tint is legal even if its whole front
the officer must be ignorant or may not like you and your ride

That magistrate can instruct the police to verify the information...hence...

These tickets can be amended.

more info plz? in the past.....haven't they always thrown out cases like that?
they made an amendment to allow amendments?

[pioneer]

Yes the magistrate by his/her discretion request amendments be made to the charge within a 6 months time period.

If you don't wanna pay it, grab yourself an attorney but you gonna end up paying more than $2,000 anyhow.

And it's not a criminal offence, you can just pay the fine or see what mood the magistrate in, if he/she in a bad mood you can get nailed to the cross in fines for wasting court time.

[sharkman121]

this post is split in two, for and against. Can someone pls clarify. As someone said earlier, cases have been thrown out because of wrong spelling. However if pioneer is right and they can be amended, will they be amended in the courtroom right there?

[pioneer]

Obviously not, the magistrate will give them time to verify the information and adjourn the matter.

If they can't verify by the said date then it would be thrown out.

[GReddy23]

so what happens if you don't show up ? Maharajh gonna get charge ...?

[pioneer]

Seeing they most likely have his address, vehicle number, make (not model) and color...they can easily verify that information.

So don't show, you'll jus be held in contempt and summoned to court.

Stop giving wrong advice. Everything on a fixed penalty notice can be amended, even the offence.

Dismissal over a name hahahahahaha, the police can write 'de black short k00lee driving a van', once he can identify the person named as such in court.

btw the ticket doesn't have provisions for make and colour of vehicle just registration number, officers write that to refresh their memory later if the matter is contested.

Any grade of tint on the entire front windscreen is unlawful.

My advice contest it then come tell us how that worked out for you.
