A: I have had many cases in which the case is passed for the prosecutor to call the insurance company to verify coverage. I have even had clients caught with presenting fraudulent or fake insurance documents in court..

A: Yes they can and they do often check the status of your insurance on the date and time you received the ticket. DO NOT bring in a false insurance card because you could be held in Contempt of Court for doing so and I have seen it done.
