undefinedWhat is the name of your state? Massachusetts
This morning I had an officer, who didn't identify himself, come to my door at 6:45am to issue me a ticket for "running a red light yesterday morning" while he was off duty, sitting in another car with his wife. He was waiting at the light on a side street and when his wife "screamed" he saw me go by. He said "you were probably going 40", "you looked like you didn't notice the light", "you would have killed us if I had been in the intersection". Huh? I don't have any experience with this as I've never gotten a ticket in my life. Can an off duty cop give a ticket the next day instead of reporting it to someone on duty? Can he just show up on his way to work or on his way home?
