Absent an ordinance adopted to the contrary, the prosecuting attorney of the Mayor’s Court is the only individual who may exercise any authority to reduce or dismiss a traffic citation. See AG Op. No. 11-0129, AG Op. No. 06-0075, and AG Op. No. 06-0008. See also Q.8 & Q.10 of the Mayor’s Court FAQ and Q.28 and Q.32 of the Traffic Citations FAQ.
