Re: Tickets

Hello. I would have to

question the motives of the

police officer in this situation. In my opinion,

this amounts to misconduct

on the part of the police

officer. I would report

him to your town's police

superintendent and I would

not meet him at the location

the next day. The proper

procedure is for the ticket

to be given the driver at

the time he or she is

stopped for the traffic

violation. I do not know

what the officer may have

in mind, but you have a

constitutional right to

remain silent. Also, hire

a lawyer to look into this

matter further, and don't show

up anywhere to meet this

officer without your lawyer.
