Retired Leo fix it ticket

[GlockTank]

Probably a stupid question but can a retired LEO write off a Fix-it ticket? This is in los angeles county if that makes a difference.

[cacop]

I don't think so. Although after scribbling my name and ID on out of county tickets I wonder if they actually check.

Either go to a station near where you live or to the agency that issued the ticket. Or flag someone down.

I want to have my cake and eat it to. Just want to keep my tint so i thought i would ask a friend of mine who is retired if he could write it off. He offered to do so, I just dont want to get stuck with the consequence if it does not work.

[cacop]

If you keep your tint you will get pulled over again and get a ticket again.

I believe an officer has to be active to have the authority to sign off your "warrant". (aka: ticket)
I think he would know that.

If they actually looked and recorded the name and ID number of the officer and found it was no longer in the active system I'd think you'd both be in hot water. That's an official document. Even it the ticket itself is only for an infraction, committing fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud, etc are more serious crimes. (unfortunately you've shown your intent in your post)

Loose the tint and enjoy the sunshine.

I've done it and don't think they even check. It's a mechanical violation for goodness sake. Not like you were arresting anyone. As long as they get their $10 (or whatever) they don't care.

They do get checked now. Too many bogus signoffs. This is why, in part, that CHP doesn't want anyone but CHP signing off their tickets. Retired LEO has no authority to sign off a ticket.

If you keep an illegal tint on your car, you'll eventually get pinched for it again. Add to that any LEO who signed off a tint ticket knowing it was not corrected would be opening themselves to sanction with loss of office being at the top rung. It's called perjury and it's a felony.

It is fraud. It's falsifying a Court document. Both you and the retired LEO could be in hot water as you both should be. You came here to ask a question and when you got an answer you didn't like, you made light of it. What you asked the Retired LEO to do is a crime and he has no authority to sign it off.

I've had corrupt Officers falsely sign off some of my equipment citations. There are consequences for doing so, believe me.

Just take the offending tint off and you won't be bothered by being stopped and cited again.


If you go to the O/T forum where any form of L/E doing something wrong gets full attention Ad Nauseam; everyone cries for ethical,moral,virtuous and honorable LEOs, which they should be.

You can't have it both ways.

NO!

[Ron-Solo]

Because of so much fraud in the past, LA County Courts require a "Certificate of Correction" issued by a law enforcement agency. Just having an officer sign off on the ticket will not work in LA County.

LASD charges $15 for the certificate, most CHP stations in LA County still do it for free.

Falsifying a court document is a felony. Is window tint really worth it?

Would you be ok with your friend getting stuck with the consequences of this stunt? Kills me when people say they have friends that do X, Y, or Z but think nothing of it when it comes to putting their asses in a sling or making them appear like the evil doers of society just to prove a point.

Granted, the retired cop is a big boy and should know better as well.

I can't have it both ways? Not sure if you are replying to my post, or using it to emphasize to the OP the FAIL in his premise.

Clarification please?
