The state trooper gave me 5 citations and each 1 are the same it has my name but I'm not a JR and the wrong ADRESS,,DOB,LICENSE # not me what should I do
I followed a state trooper doing 75 in a 55 for miles when all of a sudden he pulled over just to get behind me and light me up. Why is it ok for him to speed but not ok for me to follow him?
Everything but he had no license. They ran my license and then made us step out the car and told us they wanted to search the vehicle because I had a drug charge 3 years ago. Is that legal

Consult with experienced traffic ticket attorneys. They (or you) may be able to appear before the judge for a reduction and payment plan.
Was pulled over pulling out of gas station officer performed field sobriety test and I passed. Then asked to search vehicle and I said no then spoke to another officer after he removed his recording device and sat on car. Then told me that he was calling a canine unit out to which I responded that... Read more »

Based on your description, it appears that the officer may have exceeded the lawful limits of his authority during the traffic stop. The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects citizens against unreasonable searches and seizures, and law enforcement officers generally need a warrant or... Read more »
Should I just pleas guilty and pay the 210.50 ?what's my best option for this situation
answered on Feb 5, 2023
Since you don’t mention anything that is likely to be a defense and the fine is so minimal, I recommend paying the fine and renewing the registration.
this happened in PA. what can i do for this not to be used against me in case it goes to trial?

A Pennsylvania attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. You could reach out to traffic ticket attorneys to discuss if you have not already done so. This is posted under the Car Accident category, which deals more with monetary damages in the ensuing civil... Read more »
So I was pulled over a month ago for speeding. Officer had me doing 15 over. I was on the clock for my job in a company vehicle so she just took down my information and said she’d send the citation in the mail. Fast forward to this past Monday and I finally received something in the mail from the... Read more »

You need to get a lawyer to assist. The notice of suspension was because you did not enter a plea on the ticket. It was likely sent to the address on your license. If you have not already, you should contact the court and plead not guilty and then your license would not be suspended. A lawyer can... Read more »
I was never pulled over for speeding, therefore never served anything for any alleged speeding(which I never did, since didn't feel comfortable driving back there to begin with, much less speed). What recourse do I have to fight this charge of$130 for sometime that I didn't do?
answered on Oct 21, 2022
You need to determine if the speeding ticket is in your name or the company's name. Police can mail a ticket but they usually do pull the driver over first. If it is not in your name and it was not you who was the driver then this would be a civil law case and not a traffic law, so you should... Read more »
I was issued citation for not coming to a complete stop at stop sign. At the time, my vehicle was not inspected. I am making inspection appointment on Monday
Police officer never looked at my inspection. I feel as if I came to a complete stop but was guilty of an expired vehicle... Read more »

You should plead not guilty. Bring proof that you had the vehicle inspected to the hearing, and the officer may withdraw that citation. The officer may also be willing to change the stop sign citation to a section that does not add points to your license. Consider reaching out to a traffic attorney... Read more »
I was in bed asleep at that time of the violation and the vehicle I don’t drive. It’s a spare for the family. No one in my family was ever pulled over on this date and time or any other time. Is this legal?
answered on Jul 21, 2022
Certainly sounds like a mistake was made, which happens from time to time. You should plead not guilty, which means a hearing will be scheduled that you will have to appear for. It should be as simple as the officer realizing he/she made a mistake when you see him/her at the hearing. You can also... Read more »
He pulled up to my driveway as i was closing the garage door and I opened the door after he honked. This is a psp trooper in pa.
answered on Jul 21, 2022
No. An officer can mail a citation without ever making contact with a driver if the driver can be ID'd by the trooper, such as if the officer can see the driver and has had prior run ins with him/her. The question in your case is what the trooper is relying on for his identification of you as... Read more »
answered on Jul 20, 2022
Yes. I'm not sure what citation you received, but this happens often with suspended license citations. If the officer can ID the driver and knows from past dealings that the driver's license is suspended, a citation can be issued/mailed without being pulled over. If you have received a... Read more »
The officer told me no points would be added to my license and because it was only 5mph over the limit, my insurance should not be affected. Is that accurate?
answered on Jul 18, 2022
It is not a misdemeanor, and not something that would appear on a criminal background check. It's true that no points will be added to your license if you have a Pennsylvania license. If your license is from another state, that may change. The insurance issue is a little more complicated. Your... Read more »

If you received a citation for driving under suspension, DUI-related, the court will automatically schedule a hearing because there is mandatory prison time associated with that section. You really should consult with an attorney in your area prior to your hearing date.
