There are a variety of circumstances that can result in dismissal of your speeding ticket. The police officer who issued you the speeding ticket is responsible for having the relevant paperwork related to your ticket available during your court hearing, and if that paperwork is missing, your case could be dismissed. Another reason for speeding ticket dismissal is related to officer expertise and training. All police officers who issue speeding tickets must have appropriate training in order to do so, as well as to use radar guns and other types of technology in order to document speeding vehicles for the purposes of speed limit enforcement. If the police officer responsible for your case does not have the appropriate training, your case may be dismissed. Yet another reason for possible dismissal of your speeding ticket case is the failure of the police officer to appear in court for your scheduled court hearing. The reality is that police officers go on vacation, are off duty, or may have other commitments that may lead them to miss court hearings, especially when the likelihood is that you will simply pay your fine and not contest your speeding ticket. If the officer fails to appear at court, however, there is no witness to your alleged speeding violation, and your case should be dismissed.
