Re: DWSL either number 2 or 3
No, you will not be able to lie to get away with it. If he didn't see you switch seats, then why do you think he asked you why you switched seats?

Cops aren't stupid they can use deductive reasoning. Also, If I assume something I would ask the question just to see what type of answer I get.

Right, they're not stupid.
By the way, according to your post, he admitted to doing so.
Re: DWSL either number 2 or 3
I know but the cop took no notes or statements not even once he took him back to the station and i waited there and he did not question me either. Where is his evidence. What was said at the scene is all hearsay unless it is documented. Out of court statements cannot be broought into the court to prove the truth or verocity of the matter at hand.
Re: DWSL either number 2 or 3
I'm working on having him get his driver's record so we can find out what number this is. If it is only his second offense then we can prove the cop was acting in bad faith by confiscating the plate.

How do YOU know that he didn't take notes? Well, if out of court statements cannot be brought into the court, then who would ever get convicted of a crime?:confused:

They are restated by the person who said them in court. The glitch is the same thing has to be said. Then the out of court statement becomes an in court statement

I'm trying to understand why, although people, including police officers, make mistakes, you're assuming that this police officer is not a professional who does this for a living, and will therefore, be prepared?
Re: DWSL either number 2 or 3
I'm saying that he too must follow the Michigan rules of evidence. Evidence has to be authenticated. An officer's word does not authenticate it. A signiture or an admission in court would work.
