My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: CA.
My problem involves a red light ticket "I" received in Victorville, CA. They sent the ticket in my dad's name. He's old and bald and the picture of me in the ticket looks nothing like him. My police officer neighbor has suggested he go to court for the arraignment and plea not guilty on the basis of identity. My dad is convinced that in doing so, the court will force him to identify who is driving (me) and not doing so would be perjury.
I can't seem to find any legal document saying that you don't legally have to legally testify. The 5th ammendment, from how I read it, seems to only protect against testifying against yourself. My thought process is that you can plead not guilty even if it is you and then you can't testify against yourself, right? So they can't require you to testify.
Is there any legal code where it specifically states one cannot be required to testify? Or is there any way I can prove to him that he won't be perjury himself by not identifying me?
Thanks in advance!
