question about how my felllow troopers handle out of state/country tickets?

[ripyaone]

Firecop/TC:

I was wondering how you fellas regularly handle persons exceeding the posted, who are registered/living out of state or from Canada? I'm not refering to 7-12mph over, more like 20mph over. Just curious

Usually a ticket will be issued. Twenty over is pretty much a guaranteed ticket with me

Do you expect said offender to pay the ticket? Especially if he/she dosen't reside in your state/ country? When we are faced with same issue we realize 99.9% of the time it will go unpaid,so we usually just run them through the RCMP's database for outstandings and give em' a "lecture" and send them on there way. Unless its some out of this world speed..

Most states have a no-bail compact. Meaning if the ticket is not paid, the same penalty will be applied in the state they reside in.
Or if they do not reside in a state with an agreement we can require they post a bond.

Honestly? I usually cut them loose. Hell, I know what it's like to be several states from home and all you want to do is get as far as you can before you feel like passing out from exhaustion.

Besides, if they don't pay it, nothing happens to them anyways.

I agree TC, If you issue and they don't pay on the date on the ticket then they are required to attend the court date. No help there if they reside out of the country,just alot of paper work for the courts to process,just for a 50.00 ticket...
Naw give em' the evil eye, sit in your cruiser awhile and let em sweat then spring em'

as a younger person(22) the worst thing about getting ticket is actually getting pulled over and waiting for the officer to come out of the car and then after he gets your license, the wait for him/her to come back.

surely you've heard of the non-resident violator compact of 1977? this does wonders. i see it used all the time. if they don't pay the ticket their driver license is taken and held as collateral until the fine is taken care of. then they receive the NRVC suspension notice. the only problem i had was when i stopped a lady from sweden, with a swedish driver's license, and all her papers to go with it. don't think we will extradite from sweden on a speeding ticket.
