I emailed your story to a friend of mine, and this is what he sent back...

If he did issue the second one, he would have to cancel the first…he can't get both

Sounds like he made a mistake and wrote 82 in a 60 so he is quashing it based on that and re-issuing for the 104 in an 80. Same difference + 2kms.

Officers have up to 6 months to lay a charge. If one is laid, they do have the option of canceling it within that six months and amending it. Usually that is done if a mistake was made. It seems like, if the events are true in the original comment, that the officer has taken offence to the guy going to court when he gave him a good deal. The problem as I see it, is when an officer swears or signs a ticket, he is alledging the offence occurred. If he reduces it, he's almost swearing to a ticket that isn’t true. In a nut shell, yes he can do it, it is not common practice.
