Q: Are you at all familiar with "Ticket Fundraising" issue in Taylor, MI - any recourse for issuance of false tickets?
Husband was pulled over, officer said for speeding but he was not speeding, then said he would "do him a favor" and write the ticket for a parking violation (no points) - he was not speeding, and he was certainly not double parked on I-94 in Taylor... similar reports seem to say trying to fight will fail... Any advice? This is a pretty widespread problem from what I am seeing and outright FALSE allegation!
A: If you fight it - i.e. demand a formal hearing - the officer could come to court and say "you know what, you're right. I should have actually wrote the ticket for 20 over". Then what? Unless your husband can overcome the presumption of evidence, he might be stuck.
