Cumplimiento estricto para modificar juicios de infracciones de tráfico

Explicación Simple

Si alguien quiere cambiar una decisión de un tribunal sobre una multa de tráfico, debe seguir reglas muy específicas. Si no lo hace exactamente como se pide, el cambio no cuenta.

Es como cocinar una receta: si olvidas un ingrediente o no sigues los pasos, el platillo no saldrá bien y no se puede servir.

Ejemplo Práctico

María recibió una multa por exceso de velocidad y decidió que quería cambiar su declaración a 'no contestar'. Sin embargo, no presentó su solicitud a tiempo ni cumplió con los requisitos necesarios. Como resultado, el tribunal no aceptó su cambio y la multa se mantuvo.

OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL Strict compliance required. - Subsection (a) of O.C.G.A. § 40-13-32 reflects the intent of the General Assembly that all orders modifying previously entered judgments in misdemeanor traffic cases be considered of no force and effect unless the orders fully comply with all applicable provisions of that section, including both the procedural requirements of subsection (a) and the jurisdictional limitations found in subsection (f). The terminology specifically means that substantial compliance is insufficient. 1989 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 89-22. Department of Public Safety is authorized to amend a plea of guilty or nolo contendere only after strict compliance with the procedural requirements of subsection (a) of O.C.G.A. § 40-13-32 , when applicable, and when the order modifying the judgment reflects that the order is based on a motion filed in a timely manner as defined in subsection (f). 1989 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 89-22. Nunc pro tunc order. - If a nunc pro tunc order is entered by the court within 90 days of judgment and within the term of court and is not a clerical error, as such a nunc pro tunc order need not reflect compliance with the procedural requirements of subsection (a) of O.C.G.A. § 40-13-32 , no further showing is required for the Department of Public Safety to make the appropriate changes to the Department's records. 1989 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 89-22.
