Chewy, I think they should have to prove it as well.  It sounds like a shakedown to me...  >:(

I got a notification of a traffic ticket from Italy a year and a half after we'd been there.  They had a pic and sure enough, that was our little rented Fiat Panda.  Anyway - to Chewy's dilemma - the Italians at least had a pic - and I knew damned well I'd gone the wrong way down that street, anyway - make 'em prove it.

Oh yeah, and I lost a 1962 Cadillac sedan DeVille to parking tickets when I was a misanthropic youngster . . . but that's another story.

10 Years on, they should have to prove their case.  And why did it take 10 years for this to crop up?

I would fight the ticket for sure.

Several weeks after moving to Vermont, I was pulled over for having a non-working fog light. The officier wanted to give me a ticket for underage driving as Vermont DMV records said I was 8 years old, not old enough to drive.

They also had me in as being 18 years old and 28 years old, all with the same addy. Took a while for them to get it right.

You got to be kidding me!  8 year old are they blind?  How ridiculous is that.
