The title is pretty self explanatory but the long story is I came home from work one day to a handwritten envelope with no return address in the mail. To my surprise inside was a traffic summons for a seat belt violation for the driver and passenger. All my information was present on the ticket down to my DL#. The only problem is I've never been pulled over in that city of Rhode Island in my entire life. I went to the station the day I got it and the officer behind the counter was surprised I received it in the mail. He gave me the information of the officer that (supposedly) pulled me over. The next morning I called the number and spoke to the officer who told me that it may not have been me but it was definitely my car that he stopped. I'm hesitant to let my 50 year old mother drive my car,
 and not to mention I put my seat belt on before I even back out of the driveway. The officer told me to go to the first summons date and plead not guilty, then find out who was driving my car and bring them to the trial date. When I went to the office to get my trial date I was shown the original ticket with "my" signature on it and it was nowhere close. The trial date is Dec 18th. I can't afford an attorney so I was thinking of getting ahold of the Attorney General's office to ask them for advice. Anyone else ever heard of something like this?

You should have recorded that conversation with the officer if he has no idea who was driving.
That's crazy. Ask for a supervisor and get that sorted out immediately. Do you have an ....alibi for that time and is your vehicle listed on the ticket? |

He probably got to your DL number from an incorrect license plate he fat fingered when he pulled over someone else.
The guy driving probably said it was his brother's or friend's car. Then the system ticketed you by mistake Either that or an ISIS sleeper cell is targeting you for replacement.

Sounds fishy. So that officer pulled somebody else over and gave had your id on them or the officer maybe took down the wrong plate nmber and forged a signature.

Go to court tell judge not you, not your signature, and if the cop had truly pulled you over, why did he have to mail ticket? Should have given it to you during the traffic stop.

Is it possible or not someone else was driving your car at the time?
Is the signature on ticket in your name? Mailing sounds sketchy. If it's not possible it was your car, and the signature is forged. It sounds like the cop got your plate number, looked it up in the system, and then fabricated a ticket. |

Interdasting. Given that your vehicle was supposedly pulled over, why did the ticket come in the mail? Why wouldn't the officer have given the driver the ticket on the spot? Never heard of that.

I had something like that happen years ago.
I got a parking ticket in the mail from a place I had never been to and was at work about two and a half hours away at the date and time the ticket was for. I called Chief there, answered a few questions, he said it must have been a mistake and that was it. |

If not, they got the wrong info. Go to court, plead not guilty, and make the officer prove it was you. |

The next morning I called the number and spoke to the officer who told me that it may not have been me but it was definitely my car I'm going to play TV lawyer here... If he admitted it may not have been you that was driving, then how does he know who he ticketed? If it was your car, did he issue the ticket to your car? Do you have that conversation on tape? I'd think a cop admitting that he didn't know who was driving would pretty much cast doubt on the fact that it was you. /TVlawyer |
