I was pulled over for making an illegal left turn out of a shopping center in NJ. The officer was hiding in the shopping center and made the same illegal left turn I did to pull me over. He then wrote me a ticket for Statute # 39:4-125 which is "Uturn on curve/grade or Where view obstructs Uturn sign" but described it as "left where prohibited" instead of writing me for an 39:4-123 which is "Improper Left or Right Turn"Can I fight this and have a chance at winning?
Thanks

Well of course, but as an officer of the law, do you think I have a chance at winning my case givin the circumstances?

I have no idea how your case is going to turn out, I don't see anything in your description that would justify a dismissal, go talk to the officer and the judge and see what happens

would the discrepancy of statute #'s justify a dismissal?

It is clearly stated in the guidelines of this section that the officers are here to clarify the law, not give advice. Please do not ask for any more legal advice here...
