Can the police officer retract the ticket?

Question

After having a tire blow out on a major interstate, there wasn't an accident; however, a police officer issued me a citation for violating the state code for tire tread requirements. Instead of issuing a warning, since I had to have the car towed for the tire to be replaced anyhow, he issued a citation. I wrote him a letter regarding his lack of compassion and choice to ticket instead of give warning, is he able to retract the ticket?

Answer 1

Sure, any officer can retract an issued ticket.  I have done it at court.  I am not sure how your letter to the officer regarding his 'lack of compassion' went over but you have the right to your day in court.

Answer 2

Nope, he was just doing his job

Answer 3

Anything is possible......... but unlikely
