Traffic ticket - after the fact?
I'm wondering if anyone knows if a law officer can give you a traffic ticket by mail service or something similar that?
I had a state of affairs where I made an illegal move in my car but the police officer didnt put on his lights to pull me over so I parked. When I came back to my car there was a business card from the law officer. Saying I was required to call her most something. I called but she wasnt there. Do you think I should proceed calling until the officer is in that location, or should I just exit it and encounter if the officer sends me anything in the postal service. She doesn't even know who was driving.
Can a police officer consequence you a ticket if they didn't pull you over and they don't know who was driving the car?

When I came back to my car there was a business card from the police officer. Maxim I was required to call her about something. I chosen simply she wasnt at that place. Do y'all think I should keep calling until the officer is there, or should I only exit information technology and see if the officer sends me annihilation in the mail. She doesn't even know who was driving.
Tin can a police officer issue y'all a ticket if they didn't pull you over and they don't know who was driving the car?
It really does not thing who was driving.If they got your plate number thats all they actually need.

No not really... The business menu was only a scare tactic. If you call her she'll probably just tell you lot "I saw what you did, and didn't have fourth dimension to pull yous over only if I see you do information technology again... blah blah".
Yous could maybe get found and ticketed/arrested after a serious offence, in person (say running from the police, leaving the scene of an accident) but y'all certainly can't get a ticket in the mail; not one that would agree up in court anyway. Apart from red-low-cal camera tickets you can't really become whatever traffic tickets "in the mail".
You called, she didn't respond I would leave information technology at that. If y'all call her days later, she probably won't fifty-fifty remember what you're talking about, lol.

Huh? Of course it matters. Police force hand out tickets to people not cars. They can endeavour to determine information technology was you lot driving at the time and they probably volition exercise that for a criminal driving offence but not likely for a small-scale traffic violation. With only your plate they cannot give yous any tickets at all other than perhaps equipment tickets to the car owner which I retrieve is a stretch anyway.
If they were just ticketing your plate who would go the fine? Who would get the demerit points on their license, who would get the ticket on their record? This can and does happen with red-light-camera tickets (which don't affect anyone's driving record) but police don't get to mail you tickets like that--that'southward absurd.

what about getting a traffic ticket on private property?
For example, yous are non pulled over, merely instead the officeholder follows you into a gas station or parking lot and gives you a ticket....
Is this legal/valid?

Wow, that is crazy. I never heard of that. Only to ostend ES, there is no fashion this would concord up equally a criminal offense, especially that far later on the fact.
Y'all made the endeavour to call, and chances are the cop will non come after yous. Fifty-fifty if they did, they would get laughed at by their peers, and possibly in trouble by their supervisor, and worse and then by a guess should it always come to that.

Wow, a lot of misinformation in this thread.
First a police officer tin charge you upward to 6 months afterward the offence date for a provincial offence. I recollect you lot have 30 days to be given a provincial offence observe (ticket) after that you have to be summonsed. This happens all the time for one reason or some other, the officer would non be laughed at by his peers or punished by his supervisor, that is ridiculous.
Second identification could exist an issue, which is why further investigation might exist needed. Some offences in the highway traffic act allow for the registered owner to exist charged if the driver can not be adamant. Since you didn't say what you did, I don't know if this is the case. Again non knowing all the facts it is quite possible the officer got a look at you lot on the style by. Lots of resources bachelor to confirm your identification.
Saying that, unless information technology was a serious offence, I tin can't imagine an officer going to all the trouble to charge you lot for something relatively pocket-sized.

Where you receive the ticket has no relevance to where an offence occurred. Information technology could be ten km away or a half hr after.

Parking tickets are given generally with simply the plate number.Its up to the owner to pay or fight the ticket..Y'all accept to continue in heed the owner of the motorcar is responsible.An exzample a car run a red low-cal hits someone keeps going simply they got at that place plate number.Well and so the owner is in trouble unless they can show proof they were not driving the auto.

A parking is not a traffic ticket! Just because they both involve vehicles doesn't mean they are the same affair.
And sure I think all POA offences you tin get charged upward to 6 months later on the fact, but they even so take to charge you lot, not ship yous something in the mail. Anyone ever actually meet a traffic ticket here? LOL. There are a lot of boxes that have to be filled in including proper noun, address, driver's license #, etc. Just filling in the plate portion and putting it in the mail service to the owner of the plate is not going to hold up in courtroom 
What if the car was a rental car? You're telling me the rental car visitor is gonna go charged with something like improper lane modify, or making a right turn on reddish opposite to a sign, or speeding, or something similar to that?
Give me a break. I don't know where all this paranoia and nonsense is coming from almost getting tickets in the mail.

My point is tickets still can be given by a plate number.Yes its not for your typical traffic incidents but for parking etc.

Kickoff a police officer tin can charge you up to half-dozen months after the offence appointment for a provincial offence. I think yous accept xxx days to be given a provincial offence notice (ticket) afterward that you have to be summonsed. This happens all the time for one reason or another, the officer would non be laughed at by his peers or punished by his supervisor, that is ridiculous.
Second identification could be an event, which is why farther investigation might exist needed. Some offences in the highway traffic act allow for the registered owner to be charged if the driver can not be adamant. Since you didn't say what you did, I don't know if this is the example. Again not knowing all the facts it is quite possible the officeholder got a expect at you lot on the fashion by. Lots of resources available to ostend your identification.
Saying that, unless it was a serious offence, I can't imagine an officer going to all the problem to charge you for something relatively minor.
Well apparently it wasn't that serious if the officeholder didn't make the attempt to pull the OP over more seriously which is why I nonetheless say he will become laughed at, peculiarly by leaving the card on the car for something that didn't fifty-fifty warrant enough try to confront the offender (OP) or await for him.
Of form if the commuter was speeding dangerously, truly made a reckless move, racing or perhaps ran away from the cop when signalled to stop, they will and have often charged people afterwards the fact, but in light of the 'seriousness' of this crime, and once again the effort put fourth past not fifty-fifty trying to brand a reasonable endeavor to become after the motorcar and place the offender, expecting that person to callback is where they will get laughed at or in problem by their peers.
Imagine a cop doing speed trap duties, or some other type of blitzes (seatbelt), bc he's and so busy or lazy to take the time to write the ticket then and certify the summons at that time bc he already has someone pulled over (and also given the lack of seriousness of the offense), he just runs over and gives them a card to tell them to call back.
So in absolute, y'all are correct, merely in reality, information technology makes more sense to use a response to the situation at hand. Which in this case, is not to land every possible law (oh, the cop tin can come up after you tomorrow bc you jaywalked today) and dismiss the likliehood of what will actually happen.

They can give the plate holder a bylaw fine (depending on city) for certain things. I believe an illegal turn is one of them. I've had ane of those.

Sooo, to get back to the OP's issue, you have no obligation to call the cop and I wouldn't. If she wants to pursue the issue, permit her do it on her own, but surely permit dead dogs prevarication in these circumstances. You have no obligation to help the police pursue a charge against you.

Interesting discussion... the offence was turning when there was a sign not to. The officer did not put their lights on to bespeak me to pull over so I went into the parking garage and parked. Then they left the concern card for me to call them. Which I did but she wasn't in... so I'm not calling back.
I am hoping she doesn't pursue this farther... just time will tell if they ship me something in the mail. I imagine that to accuse me with annihilation they would have to get me to tell them who was driving the car at that fourth dimension.
Crossing my fingers!!
