For breaking the law. That's the point. A ticket, no matter how small, is punishment for a criminal offense.
Knowingly ticketing and arresting the guy is wrong. The fact that it is the judge who repeatedly throws it out means the prosecutors are moving forward with charges.
- jhayward 7y ago> A ticket, no matter how small, is punishment for a criminal offense No, very often citations are given citing part of the civil code, not the criminal code. Just because a court is involved doesn't mean it's a crime.
- tssva 7y agoA ticket is not punishment for a crime. A ticket is a summons charging you of commiting a crime. When you pay a ticket you are pleading guilty to the offense and paying the predetermined fine which is the punishment for commiting the crime. You can also appeal the ticket which then allows you to argue your innocence in a court. If the court finds you guilty they will then issue you a fine which is your punishment.
- the_watcher 7y agoNope. Many are not. Getting a speeding ticket is not a criminal offense. Same with most "did a thing without a permit" violations.
