Yes, it's legal -- but rather unusual. I've been a prosecutor for 12 years and I haven't heard of such a thing. Off the top of my head, I can think of a couple reasons why it might happen. Maybe he wasn't able to run your record at the time, but later in the day your information can back with some prior traffic violations or some outstanding warrants. Or maybe his supervisor chewed his ass for giving the warning instead of writing the citation. Wow, I wouldn't do it unless I was forced to do so by the boss. If I cut you loose, I cut you loose. If I found something out after the stop, it's on me.

Can a cop issue a traffic ticket for failure to yield to a emergency vehicle when he did not witness it?

Yes and no. Remember when it comes to tickets, it's really the cops word against yours. You would have to somehow PROVE that he didn't see you not yielding to the emergency vehicle. Before you think about that, consider this: Cops are NOTORIOUS for hiding EXTREMELY well, especially at night. This is usually how speeders are nailed amongst other types of violatiors. Not only that police are extremely keen in the eye, which is how they can spot someone run a stop sign or make an illegal U-Turn from what can be literally a mile away. This explains why when most people commit violations and are later caught, their complaint usually is that the cop was NOWHERE around when the alleged violation occured when they probably actually were. Depsite all this, ask yourself: Did you really fail to yield to an emergency vehicle when you could have safely pulled over? If you answer yes, MAN UP to your mistake, admit your guilt, pay the fine and move on.

If you are pulled over for reckless driving due to speeding or anything else really but you aren't given any kind of ticket how do you know if you are going to have your license revoked?

What makes you think your license is going to be revoked? If you were NOT cited for any violation, Then there was no violation, If the officer just gave you A verbal or written WARNING, That is not A ticket, You can only have anything done to your license if you are CONVICTED of A crime. FYI- A revoked license is not as bad as A suspended license, When your license is revoked, All you have to do is go take the test again.


Do written warnings show up on your driving record?

From my experience, it will not go into your DMV record, but it will go into the police database. I've gotten a written warning, for a tail light which was displaying white light which I was pulled over 3 days earlier and just verbally alerted about. The verbal warning was issued when I was pulled over directly across the street from my work place at the end of the shift to document where I was that day. The written warning was issued when I was going home after work. From my experience, it goes: Warning ==> Written warning ==> Fix it ticket. Keep your vehicle in operable condition. It never appeared on my driving record, but apparently it was in the police database. (At least, that's what I can logically conclude.)

How does a traffic volation warning work in MA?

I have found it difficult to get this answer and still don't think that I have nailed it. I did find the following from what I consider a secondary source i.e. Holden (MA) Police Department (link below). The reference to "Registry" refers to the Massachusetts Registry of Licenses. An interesting point is that there is no process for apealing a warning. http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:56ysZeVTOYMJ:holdenpd.com/tickets.htm+%22+Massachusetts+uniform+citation%22+warning&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=3&gl=us "Like a citation, a warning is written on the Massachusetts Uniform Citation. If the box marked "WARNING" above the officer's signature is checked, then no action is required by the violator. Warnings do not affect your insurance or merit rating, but if you accumulate three within one year, the Registry has the option of suspending your license. There is no appeal procedure for warnings. Unlike written warnings, verbal warnings are not tracked, and no fine or other consequence is levied."


What is the law on verbal and written warnings in CA?

A peace officer will give you a warning, whether verbal or written, and nothing follows from that except that you are noted in the computer as having been contacted. Anything above a Class C Misdemeanor and you won't get a "warning", because an officer is required to act under set legal protocols. If the officer writes a report and tells you something along the lines of "I'm warning you...", you better avoid running across that officer again anytime soon because those are not happy words.

What is police discretion?

It means the police officer has a choice. example: a police officer pulls you over for a minor traffic violation (not stopping at a stop sign) he has a choice of whether to give you a ticket or a warning (written or verbal). This is called discretion. Another example would be urinating in public, the officer uses his/her discretion on whether or not to make an arrest or just issue a ticket violation. Police don't have discretion in all circumstances. Law and departmental policy can limit or eliminate discretion. For example, if an officer witnesses a felony, law requires the officer arrest the suspect. And, departmental policy might require an officer issue citations for all seat belt violations.
