It is possible that the person can be charged with leaving the scene so I would advise them to get their car out of there instantly, for starters.
At bottom of ticket, it states "no signature required pursuant to 32-1-4(a)", but that code appears to be stating that the violator would be deemed to have given a written Bond to appear, not waiving officers' need to sign the complaint. Violated Montg. Municipal Ord. 1-9 adopted 32-6-65
This was posted under Admiralty/Maritime, but I was unable to find anything under maritime laws pertaining to the listed statute(s). It looks like it involves violation of a Montgomery Municipal Ordinance. Consult with an Alabama attorney, as it probably requires a prompt response/appearance where... Read more »
is there no accountability to hold the officer accountable should he pull you over for no reason, lie about what he pulled you over for, fabricate some sort of probable cause evidence to search my car without my consent, forces me to stop recording the stop with my phone, two diff officers tell me...

I told you on that without writing in sentences beginning with capitals and ending with periods, it is impossible to be certain enough to respond accurately. Your writing is a single run-on sentence.
my vehicle is equipped with an accurate speedometer,and i also employ an app that records my rate of travel along with the date and time and does so by GPS so is very accurate.both of my devices showed that i was traveling 43mph in a 40 zone,so i understand I was 3mph over,but during the stop, i...

Are you seriously asking if a police officer could invent evidence ?
An accident accrued at a red light due to red light being out. The other insurance is refusing to pay due to they say its no state law
If you are a AAA member they may have resources. Ask your local police. If you were hurt, consult a member of the Alabama Trial Lawyers Assn in your county.
Another way to look at it is, unless the lights were out for everyone, the others would still be controlled by their light signals:... Read more »
the ticket is written to the individual, not to the vehicle. so no, it cannot be dismissed if the information associated with the car is incorrect. that would incentivize people to put incorrect info down and never have to pay a ticket if that were the case.
... and I say no to the search and they bring the dogs out and the dog finds it is that evidence in court ?
The answer depends on the reason the officers state was the reason they pulled you over. IF, and that's a big IF, the officers had no legitimate reason for the stop AND IF they admit that, the marijuana they seized should not be admitted into evidence against you. If, on the other hand, the... Read more »
The lights would be used while stopped on the side of public roads as caution lights
If they are used to mark a stopped vehicle, should be OK but the strobes may be distracting. Orange triangles lit or reflective may be more acceptable.
NM tag due to attending college in NM. Tag AL bc mother owns title and AL resident. Why was a ticket given and charged with court date for a suspended license? Everything is current and no traffic citations current. New insurance recently, no issues. What recourse is possible?
Please try this question again and give a few facts. Was your license suspended? Did you go to court? Can you show that your license was not suspended? Did you have valid insurance when you were stopped? Please ask again and tell EXACTLY what happened. Just the facts.
If there are no assets, generally speaking, there is no reason to open an estate. Remember that a Last Will and Testament is of NO legal effect unless an estate is opened. You should talk to an attorney in your home county and explain all of the facts and then make a decision about opening an... Read more »
The answer will depend on more facts than you've included, but while there might - emphasis on might - be some sort of circumstance that would justify a driver going around a pedestrian in a crosswalk at a stop sign, the answer is highly unlikely to be anything other than "probably not", or just...

As long as the speed limits are within the limits proscribed by Alabama Law with the proper signage and distances between limits (that is, you can't have a speed limit change from 65 to 15) then the police can write a ticket. Local law enforcement can write a ticket in their jurisdictions, state... Read more »
Probably. You should call the municipality or county where you got the ticket and find out. If you have a warrant out on you and you get pulled over, you WILL be arrested, so it would behoove you to fix this and get it behind you. If you got the ticket in Mobile or Baldwin County and would like... Read more »
You have a right to confront the officer during a trial. You don't have any right to question the officer at the scene.
You will be set on a docket for not paying. If you don't show up for that you will have failed to appear and a warrant will be issued for your arrest. Pay your ticket.
