Can a ticket be thrown out if the officer has wrong direction of travel listed in New York?

Yes, a ticket can be thrown out if the officer has the wrong direction of travel listed in New York. According to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, a police officer must accurately record the direction of travel of a vehicle in order for a traffic ticket to be valid. If the officer lists the wrong direction of travel, the ticket may be dismissed.

In order to challenge a ticket based on the wrong direction of travel, the defendant must file a motion with the court. The motion must include evidence that the officer listed the wrong direction of travel, such as witness statements, photographs, or video footage. If the court finds that the officer did list the wrong direction of travel, the ticket will be dismissed.
