Legal Question in Traffic Law in Nebraska

Re: contesting a speeding ticket

The only things that could invalidate a citation are that the offense charged is not actually a crime, or that the time, date, name or place of offense are wrong such that the defendant would not have enough knowledge of the crime he/she is charged with to defend him/herself. Unless you got your ticket in the mail, and didn't have it handed to you, incorrect details or missing items on the ticket front don't matter. If Officer Friendly handed you the ticket, and wrong Ferd Schmerz instead of Fred Schmidt, you still know you were the one charged with speeding. You can correct the name at a court appearance or by filing a pleading noting the name charged under and your true name, but otherwise there's no difference.
