My wife got pulled over a couple of months ago for speeding(less than 10 over) and the police officer was going to issue her a ticket but when he went to print it out his printer broke. He came back to the car and said he couldn't give her a ticket because the printer was broke. A month later she gets a failure to appear notice even though she was never issued a citation and never signed anything. Is it legal to submit a traffic situation without issuing a ticket or giving the accused a court date? What legal rights does she have? She's 27 and has never had a moving violation or any other charges for that matter. This is the first time she's ever had to appear in court.
