My son was issued a couple of tickets, showed up at court and no record of it was dismissed due to the fact the office did not file his/her paperwork.

The state trooper now wants to recite my son for those tickets. Can he legally do this after it was dismissed, due to now paperwork being filed by the same officer? My son’s license was suspended at the time, but he driving privileges to go to work. The tickets that were issued were, no selt belt, speeding, suspended license and **** paraphanelia.

You need to speak with an attorney on this.  There could be a due process argument here,especially if a long period of time has elapsed.  Maybe the charges can be dropped altogether or at least reduced. I persoanlly know of a simialr case.

Again, you will need to speak with an attorney; preferably one that specializes in DUI cases.
