'She said 'we have it right here on our screen,'' said Altieri. But the law says the ticket shall contain the 'certificate charging the liability.' Altieri made the argument in court, and that's when the judge then showed him the certificate. When motorists receive the $50 fine in the mail, it doesn't come with proof the camera was in working order that day. One ticket was from a camera at Goethals Road North and Jules Drive, and the other was from a camera at Hylan Boulevard and Fingerboard Road. 'You have a right to know who's accusing you of this violation,' says Altieri, who fought two tickets that friends received on the Island. The sheriff's office calls what happened a one-time error, so the deputy was not reprimanded.A Staten Island resident says judges ruled in his favor to reverse two speeding tickets because he argued that the city is not following the law in the way it is issuing the violations. NY1's Lisa Voyticki explains.Ĭhristopher Altieri says the city is leaving out an important piece of information when issuing speed camera violations, proof that the cameras are actually working properly.

The sheriff’s office says the error occurred when the deputy entered information in their online system. 'This has been taken care of, and Deputy Powers has attempted to contact the complainant to address the ticket issue,' stated an email a sheriff's spokesperson told us. Three days later the sheriff’s office wrote to the Clerk of Circuit Court asking that the ticket be dismissed. “After I contacted you about 30 minutes later, I got an email from HCSO public relations,” Johnston said. We contacted the Hillsborough Sheriff’s Office about the case. ABC Action News reviewed the video and found the deputy wrote Johnston’s name on the ticket meant for her husband.īoth Johnstons are listed on the vehicle’s registration which may have contributed to the deputy’s error. Johnston made a call for action to Jackie Callaway. “They said you have to leave a message with the deputy, and I said, ‘can I talk to his supervisor?’ they said, 'no, you can't,'' Johnston recalled the conversation. She tried calling the Clerk of Court and the Sheriff’s Office but couldn’t get either agency to dismiss the ticket. “I've never had a traffic citation in my life and to see I was issued a ticket incorrectly - I wasn't even present when this violation - occurred was really frustrating,” Johnston said.
