Plate / Vehicle Description Mismatch
A citation listing a wrong plate, make, model, color, or VIN is not enforceable against the actual registered owner. Mississippi requires the State to prove identity beyond a reasonable doubt; even a one-character plate error is fatal.
Legal basis
Miss. R. Crim. P. 2.1, 2.2; due process
Sample appeal wording
The citation lists [WHAT_THEY_WROTE]. My vehicle's actual [data] is [ACTUAL]. Registration enclosed. Dismissal requested. [NAME, DATE]
Replace [PARKING DATE], [NtK DATE] etc. with your own dates before sending.
