he didnt pay anything he never went to court now he has a warrant out for his arrest. (this is in california) theres no law that says i have to give him my information and i was never charged for a thing i just didnt feel comfortable with giving him that personal info
A few things:
1) Shame on g/f's brother. If he HAD gone to court, he could have contested the ticket and stopped the additional penalty, fines, and prevented the warrant for his arrest (for neither paying nor addressing the ticket at all). "Mitigation of damages" comes to mind.
2) No there's no law that says you have to give him your info. But SHAME ON YOU for trying to force liability for YOUR actions in his borrowed car back to the g/f's brother.
3) Of course you were never charged! Red light cameras do not match photos of the drivers with their licenses to determine who was driving. They may take a picture of the driver, but they can only identify the car by it's license plate.
You didn't feel "comfortable" with giving him your personal info??? Yet the g/f's brother did not get to choose whether or not HE was "comfortable" allowing you drive a car that was registered under his name.
Both you and your g/f are real winners (*NOT*) for shifting blame to someone else when it comes to handling your business. I hope the brother sues you BOTH and wins his judgment. Sounds like the 2 of you need a swift kick in the rear & a lesson in civic and financial responsibility.
And I sincerely hope he takes that car away so something like this NEVER happens again...
