Legal advice on a traffic ticket?

I was pulled over and given two tickets. One for disobeying a traffic control device and one for driving on a suspended license. My license is NOT suspended....I called the dmv and they said there is just a stop on my license but it is not suspended. Also, I was pulled over last night and was not issued a ticket for having a suspended license. Can I bring this up in court and have the failure to obey traffic control device charge dropped? Do I have any course when issued a false traffic ticket? Legal advice on a traffic ticket?
Ask the DMV to give you a hard copy of a document that shows to license is not suspended.





There is no connection between the status of your license and a moving violation. It therefore is probably a better course of action to just pay it with the notation ';nolo contendre'; or ';no contest.';





Taking it to court opens up the possibility of losing and having to pay total costs and fines greater than the standard fine for the ticket alone.Legal advice on a traffic ticket?
You might have a defense to the charge of driving on a suspended license, but that has no effect on the other charge. If a person is charged with multiple crimes, and has a defense to some, that does not mean he must be acquitted of all. Your recourse is to plead not guilty and set a trial and then to defend against the charges, same as any other accused criminal.
