Rule 410. Filing of Citation.

When it is not feasible to issue the citation to the defendant or when evidence is discovered after the issuance of a citation that gives rise to additional summary charges against the defendant resulting from the same incident, a law enforcement officer shall institute a criminal proceeding in a summary case by filing a citation with the proper issuing authority.

Comment

Filing as used in this rule includes electronically transmitting the citation or parking ticket information

The above citations refer to the PA Rules of Criminal Procedure and explains quite clearly what an officer has to do if he/she files a citation instead of issuing to the driver on the highway.

Let me assume that you are talking about a case where an officer sees someone he/she knows to be an unlicensed driver who is operating a motor vehicle. If the officer cannot stop that person at that time, it is perfectly lawful for him/her to file a citation charging that driver with violation of 75 Pa C.S. section 1501a.

if you are writing a paper on the subject then you can just go on the state site and look it up but if you have an actual ticket for driving without license and you werent in the car then yes you can receive a ticket for driving without a licensee even when you aren't in the car all they have to do is look up the plate number and see what address the owner of the car lives in and if it isn't anywhere near the address they can give you a ticket. and you wouldnt be able to fight it by saying you let someone else drive it especially if they aren't on your insurance and ESPECIALLY if your name is on the title.

and @travelmaster: she told us the state she said PA which is pennsylvania.

I almost hit a guy on a motorbike the different day with the aid of fact he replaced into driving against site visitors on the incorrect edge of the line. i replaced into pulling out of a motor vehicle park and attempting to my left because it incredibly is the path the flow of site visitors is coming from. it incredibly is the path from which somebody who could hit me is coming. when I went, there replaced right into a bicyclist illegally driving on the incorrect edge of the line and that i almost hit him with the aid of fact I (logically) wasn't looking in that path. that's immaterial if no one replaced into on the 4-way provide up. in case you will not run the provide up sign in your motor vehicle, you will not run it on your motorbike the two. What if there have been a rushing motor vehicle coming so rapid that it replaced into out of your line of innovative and prescient once you entered the intersection, and it plowed into you because it ran the provide up sign? permit me permit you recognize, with the aid of fact the vehicle weighs a ton and a nil.5 and the mixed weight of you and your motorbike is form of 80 pounds, you may lose. Now pay the fee ticket.

So you are saying you didn't drive the car??

You do not have to be in the car when you get a ticket! It's just usually where you are.

Remember the cop wins!

I can't give you a specific law. If you loaned out your vehicle the owner is responsible. It doesn't mean you have no recourse you can take this person to small claims court.

you don't even tell what state you are in

plus you dont even explain the cicumstanes

we can give any referceces SOMEONE DIDNT TELL US WHICH STATE THEY ARE IN

plus people do get ticket without a car, like jaywalking cross on red light etc
