What is the name of your state? Louisiana
I maintain auto insurance on my 18yr. old son's car and the car is in my name. He gets stopped just outside a little hick town pop.400. The officer says that he was tailing a DWI and my son broke his train of thought. He says my son was doing 72 in a 55. However, my son and his gf. agree that he had to cruise set at 60. When he called the plates in he says it came back NO INSURANCE! (bull) My son shows him his proof of Ins. cards which are valid and up to date. The officer says that's not proof. My son says look at the dates, officer says dates dont mean anything. So he takes off the plates and gives him a ticket for speeding and no Insurance. My agent went to see the Mayor of this little town which is also the Judge. My agent shows the Mayor/Judge documents proving we had insurance and got the plates back. I am in florida on vacation and cant do anything. She the agent questions the officer 1st he says the boy didnt give any proof of Ins. then he said that what the boy gave him was exspired, but she had the cards my son showed him as proof. Well next day I called Mayor/Judge (a woman), and asked her if they were going to drop the no insurance charge on my son's ticket. Her answer was "no", because when her deputy called it in it said "no insurance", she said she even called the next morning and they told her that also, however she did not tell the agent that when she was there at noon that day. My agent had the Sheriff of the parish seat to call in my plates (same day) it said nothing about no insurance, but it did say I had a flag on my plates. A deputy from a joining parish called the plates in, it did not say no insurance just a flag. The sheriff said a flag is not grounds for ticketing or taking plates off my car. But the Baskin Police Dept. says it told them "no insurance". Now the Mayor/Judge says we can contest the ticket. Now what good will that do when the mayor is going to be the judge and she still maintains that she called and was told NO Insurance. "Help me please!" They cant get away with this. (or can they?)
