Police question-please help!

[tyrajam]

This is the wierdest thing in the world...my wife was just pulled over at 37 and 116th st in Fishers for crossing a solid white line. Whatever, no comment on that. The thing is she came home and handed me the ticket...and it was written out to me! My name, my DL#, all of my information- I guess maybe since the vehicle is registered to me and my wife. But her name is nowhere on the ticket, it is just written out to me. What the heck?!? I was already home with the kids, so its not like I have proof showing I wasn't driving, plus the whole ticket was printed and she wasn't told to sign. I tried calling, but its after 5. The ticket says the Police agency is the Indiana State Police, and the court is the Hamilton Superior Court. I am honestly flabergasted, any ideas???

Which white line did she cross? The one on the right of the road or the ones at a stoplight or stop sign?

I'm just curious.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

White line? The fog line?

Give me the cite.

 

[Scutter01]

I guess the ticket will be pretty easy to fight, then.

Loitering?

Loitering?

while crossing a white line. hmmmm now that i think about it you didnt cross that white line with a straw did you?

She was driving north on 69 and put her blinker on where 37/116th street exits on the right, the line between her lane and the exit lane was solid white. I never thought of that as a violation, but I looked it up and obviously it is, so I'm not argueing that the ticket was wrong or complaining, I just can't understand how it was written out to me and I'm unsure about what to do from here. Thanks!

Solid white line. I'm guessing no lane change or restricted movement in the construction zone? As for you being listed on the ticket, I'm scratching my head on that one.

At minimum, the cop is responsible for citing the correct person. I would imagine that he is in for a most humiliating experience in court when confronted with having ticketed you while you were at home operating your lazy-boy.

White line? The fog line?

Give me the cite.

Solid line between the exit lane and regular lane.
The cite is 9-21-4-18 Failure to obey signs and markings while driving

And Scutter, how can I fight it if I don't have proof that I wasn't driving? If it's simply my word against the officers the court sides with the officer, and I'm sure he won't remember this specific ticket a month from now at the court date!

Maybe they have a whole series of tickets made out to you just waiting for you car to do something wrong?

 

[mrortega]

It's because your wife "belongs" to you and you are responsible for everything she does.

If your wife signed the ticket... then it should be easy to prove she was issued the ticket.

 

[findingZzero]

Does she have your DL?

 

[tyrajam]

She handed the officer HER drivers license, not mine, and she was not told to sign the ticket...not to brag but she's a pretty redhead with long curly hair, not too easy to confuse her with a guy...

 

[theweakerbrother]

No bragging if it is the truth.

Show up in court as her key witness. Maybe the cop was enamored with her ginger beauty.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Well in that case...she might get an unexpected delivery from the florist

Yea, but all you have to do is say "I divorce thee" 3 times out loud, and legally, your off the hook.
