Neither may be required. If the officer's signature is required then the citation may be dismissed. You should contact the court listed on the citation for information .

Can a non sworn officer issue traffic citations?

This depends on the laws of the state where the citation is issued and the nature of the charge. A citation is simply a summons to appear in court to answer to a charge. In many jurisdictions, it can be issued/signed by anyone who wants to bring a charge against another person. In signing the citation, the person making the accusation is swearing to the court that the offense was committed by the person named in the citation, and can be charged with false swearing or a civil claim of false arrest if the charge is baseless.

A police officer supposedly saw you speeding on the opposite side of the road and thirty minutes later you got pulled over by a different cop because of the first cop is this possible?

I know in my expierience with law enforcement it's called a speed trap, however, I have never heard of a situation where the person speeding was pulled over 30 minutes later. That is a big gap leaving room for error in vehicle tracking. But to answer your question one police officer running radar may have you locked in as speeding when you pass his location and pass it on over the radio to another officer down the road. I work on a military installation and we have had speed enforcement events where we would have one police officer shooting radar and a another police officer directing the vehicles speeding into a parking lot and another police officer cutting the tickets.


Can you receive a ticket for someone peeling out in front of your house?

Pulling into your driveway doesn't provide you any safe haven from receiving a ticket if a police officer registered you speeding and was engaged in an active pursuit of your vehicle prior to you pulling into your driveway.


What happens if a ticket is not signed for a moving violation in California?

The only signature on a traffic ticket in California is that of the person getting the ticket. The officer is identified, and he fills out the citation, but he does not sign it. Here's the scoop. An officer saw you operating a vehicle in violation of the vehicle code. He pulls you over and cites you. The signature on the ticket is that of the person being cited - you. The signature is a promise to appear and answer the charge (made by the officer) and nothing more. That's all the signature is. If you refuse to sign the citation, the officer takes you downtown and your car gets towed. There isn't much middle ground. Either you promise to appear in court to answer the charges (by signing), or you are held in lieu of your failure to promise to appear (which your signature represents). Law enforcement types and the courts have been down this road before. Sign the damn ticket or cuff up. When an officer issues a citation, he is supposed to explain that the signature is just a promise to appear and not an admission of guilt. And it says right on the citation that it is not an admission of guilt but only a promise to appear. Don't be stupid about this one.


What are the main principles used by speed detectors?

Is a police officer obligated to honor a citizens arrest?

No. If the officer doesn't believe a crime has been committed and there is some evidence the accused is responsible, taking the accused into custody would only aggravate an unlawful situation. An alternative to taking a person into custody on a citizen's arrest is to issue a citation or summons to appear in court, with the citizen making the arrest signing the citation as the complainant. Whether this option is available depends on the local laws and legal customs.
