Can't give someone a ticket when they refuse to give you their name and DOB. Know your rights, and hold the police accountable, but if you intentionally antagonize and resist the police when they make a very basic and very legal request, you're immediately on the hook for more charges.
Yes, you can. You ticket the registered owner. This is how parking tickets work.
He didn't have a valid tag. Seems likely the car isn't registered.
Right. In this case, it might not have worked. But my point was that the statement that you can't give someone a ticket without first getting their personal info is incorrect.
A moving violation and a parking ticket are totally different things. A speeding ticket is a criminal offense while a parking ticket (with rare exception) is a civil offense. The police absolutely cannot issue a speeding ticket without ascertaining your identity, and if you refuse to identify yourself, you will end up in jail while they work it out.
