Probably not. I have observed judges allowing a police officer to amend errors on traffic tickets in open court. From your zip code, you reside in Miami-Dade County. I would suggest that you use one of the law firms that specialize in traffic tickets who can probably reduce your potential liability or penalties as a result of your tickets.

Hi:

Time of day is an issue for the Court and requires an evidentiary hearing. However, an officer can always amend up until the time of trial, even orally.
