Yes, the officer can add to the citation and can get very petty. The Vehicle Code book is huge with very small print for all of the offenses. You'd be surprised how many violations almost any car can rack up. There are "supplemental citations" which are second and third pages for citations as well. Sorry you received a citation. Someone above replied advising you to call his boss, which I presume means file a complaint against the officer. Most field law enforcement officers wear body cams and your interaction most likely was recorded. If his/her behavior was other than professional, that may be your outlet; however, the citation will still stand.

The best advice I always give is be civil when dealing with officers and fight the allegations in court. If you are factually correct, you stand a great chance of winning.

Good luck and drive safely, David
