I don't know if anyone can help me but ill ask anyway, last night I got a fine and lost my license for not wearing my seat belt (I was wearing it but the cops think they are right) well the cop that gave me my tickets filled it out wrong and later that night came back to my house to change the ticket. the question I have is are they allowed to come back to my house hours after the ticket was issued? and change it.
I don't know if this is correct and can't be bothered to check the validity of this, but as far as I am aware, if the original ticket was written incorrectly it makes it void. I don't believe they can go to your house hours later and issue a correct one. I think he (or she) was only doing that to cover his (or her) own arse.
If I were you I would get a solicitor and see what they have to say about it. Assuming that you kept both tickets and/or have someone else who was with you at both times. Also assuming that you have money to pay for said solicitor. If not, there's always Legal Aid, which is free, but not as thorough.
