No. You cannot get a fix it ticket dismissed in Florida without going to court and actually 'fighting' it in court. A fix-it ticket simply lowers the fine amount.
Orange County has revamped their fine schedule, and it is bogus. I have completely stopped writing many violations unless they are blatant and reckless now because of how high the fines are...long story short. It isn't worth it to you to remove them for the sole purpose to have your citation dismissed. Your citation will drop from 116 to 100 dollars... and you have to go to a PD to have them sign off on the citation, THEN go to court anyways.
What I think the Sgt was saying was "get it removed and take it to court, I probably won't be there"... I cannot promise that, however, lol....like I stated there will not be an option to just have it dismissed
I know that is clear as mug, but I am in a hurry to family dinner... If you have any other questions, I will try to address this thread again tonight.

Thanks for the info. The Statute is 316.214(1) & the ticket is $114, not $116 (not sure of that has any relevance). I'm assuming this in not a moving violation?
Any suggestions on how I should handle this? I'm not overly worried about the $ as much as I am worried about my driving record (but I'm assuming this is non moving ticket) and future issues.
