I've had one "unwritten" before - simply for knowing the right person. It was a paper ticket of course, it'd be trivial not to drop the copy in whatever process sends them to court. I wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't unwrite an eletronic copy.troglodyte wrote:From what I understand a officer cannot "tear up" a ticket or "unwrite" it. If it was written then it has to go into the system. Why it is not there or couldn't be found at the court date is a question you need to take up with the judge or clerk. Two years does not sound right.
My exacerbation with county tickets - I've shown up days later to pay the ticket (per instructions on the ticket), waited for over an hour to get my turn, only to be told "it's not in the system" and to come back some other day. Even though I have a copy and my intent is to pay it or otherwise dispose of it... So we wait another couple of days, take off work, go stand in line... By the time it was all over with the process of dealing with the system was much more punitive than any fine. Apparently there is a narrow window of time in which the ticket is in the system, but you're not technically late on taking care of it. Go efficiency!
