What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
A red light violation was sent to me via mail and since it was not me, I responded to the city with a copy of my driver's license and a statement that basically said the license doesn't match the person pictured in the notice. I did not wish to identify the driver, so in the letter I invoked my 5th amendment right because it is the court's responsibility to prove guilt. I found out later that this was a snitch ticket that I did not need to respond to.
A week later I received an actual ticket sent to my address listing me as the car's registered owner but citing the ticket to someone I have never heard of. The notice for bail was also addressed to this same person who does not live at my address. Will my registration get flagged if I choose to send the same information as I did before letting the court know that the person in the image does not match the ID of the registrant and they are unknown to me?
Thanks
