MessageI wonder if you could use the excuse that the driver was your long lost twin brother who was visiting from Iraq... Tell the officer, "good luck trying to get Iraq to extradite my twin brother to the U.S. to pay the ticket". :-)

Well, one of my kids got nailed in Scottsdale, driving our car (registered to us). I got the ticket in the mail Went down to the police station. They showed me the photo. It obviously wasn't my picture. They asked me if I knew who the driver was. I told them no. They stamped something on the citation and later on I got something in the mail stating the charges had been dropped. But I told my kid if it happened again I'd rat him out in a heartbeat.

    Yeah, but if fought in court (supposedly) you can get out of it.... from what I've been told.  Anyone experience this?

      The inability to identify the driver hasn't stopped the red light cameras from mailing tickets.

        That's an interesting idea that I hadn't thought about...  If GPS was allowed to be used for law enforcement they could develop thresholds in which it would automagically mail you a ticket...  actually this may not happen because they couldn't be sure if the owner of the vehicle was actually driving... but it could prompt authorities to attempt to intersect you and pull you over,  I'd imagine.
