What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California.
So here's the story, I live in San Jose, and I lent my car to a friend (female) who was visiting. She did a red-light violation that was captured by a camera. A few weeks later, a ticket came to my registered home address.
And since I'm a male, they decided to look for other female candidates under my registered home address.
The ticket was sent under my roomate's name (a female who used to live there, but had left the country since last May).
I'd like to help out my friend so that she wouldn't have to pay this ticket (its for $460). Can I declare a trial by declaration? But I'm a bit confused on how to write it since the ticket is not under my name (it's under my roomate's name, but I am listed as the vehicle owner).
This is what I have so far under statement of facts :
I stand by my plea of not guilty.
As the registered owner, I would like to state that the defendant (my roomate's) could not possibly be the driver of the vehicle, for she has been out of the country since May 2009.
I respectfully requests the Court to dismiss.
Any inputs are appreciated. Thank you,
Goolah
