A ticket is neither legal or illegal in and of itself. It's an accusation of violating the law, and that's it. If your wife believes that she did nothing wrong, then request a trial, before the deadline to do so passes. Information about trial should be on the ticket, perhaps on the back.

All tickets issued by a police officer are "legal". The question is, can the State prove the charges. She should contact an attorney immediately.
