I not sure I exactly have all the correct info on this, but I promised I'd ask. This happened to someone I know. Really.
His girlfriend borrowed his car, ran a stoplight, and later received a ticket in the mail with a pic of her going through the light. He has been told that if he appears in court and states that he does not know who was driving the car, he will not have to pay and the ticket will be wiped off his record. I find that hard to believe.
He is also applying with a police department and is afraid of the ticket being on his record. He is even more afraid that if he gives incorrect information in court (regarding not knowing the driver) that it will keep him from getting a police job.
Unfortunately, neither he nor his girlfriend have money to pay the ticket.
My questions are:
1 - will this ticket go on his record even though he was not shown in the picture as being the driver?
2 - what will it do to him as far as his future job prospects?
3 - if he has to tell that it was her, can he give that info by phone and not have to actually go to court?
We're in CA. Thanks in advance.
