i'm just looking for an easy way out, since they won't believe the truth that I wasn't speeding:

A: "violator acknowledges receipt of citation" is written in a box with an X below that, under the officer's signature. However, he never made me sign it.

B: It says:
Notice to Officer
Enter Assesment $ and all total due $ only if you check "all civil infractions". Enter court address below only if you check "criminal application"
And he stamps the court address, and checks all civil infractions

Just a few small details that seem to be incorrectly done on the officer's part. Wondering if that's a sure way out of a Mass. ticket, since I've never gotten one before (being a CT resident.)

If anyone can offer input or advice it would be GREATLY appreciated.

It's REALLY hard to beat tickets based on little technicalities like that nowadays.

if they only request a small amount of fine from you assuming you really did it yourself then why not just pay for it if not then you should talk to a lawyer or someting.

If he didnt make you sign it then the ticket is void and you should have no problem getting out of it.

because that small amount of fine would cost me the same as a set of rear AGX shocks, and also give my insurance a reason to drop me.
