their liscense, and gave the cop someone else's name and personal info,.........then when when the person who's name was given had thier liscence suspended because of the, of course, "unpaid" ticket, what would happen to the person who gave the wrong info?? (That is if the guilty one was found and found guilty)
And also, would something like this be a felony??
Just wondering. I heard about stuff like this happening, but never heard what the outcome ever was.

If you give the cops wrong info, that's already doodo for you. If the person who you said you were had a ticket, they'd probably hold that against you too. But they'd check your license plates and when the false name you gave them and your actual name aren't the same, they'll most likely cuff you cause they have reason to suspect you are a criminal. All and all, keep your ID with you and be sure not to tell them your name is someone you heard about on America's Most Wanted.

The person who lost his license would no doubt cause a complaint and would probably be overturned for him it wouldn't have been the same car that was stopped, the officer who issued the ticket would be able to say that it wasn't the same person it would help though if the officer had a dashboard camera to verify identity and i'm sure the wrongfully accused would have an alibi. then if the actual person was caught it is a felony to supply false information to a police officer. but i'm not sure what would happen to the offender but it would be nothing nice for that poor slob.

If it isn't a felony it should be. But the person who is Innocent can prove they were not there at the time of the ticket and were some were else they can get the charges drooped. that happened to a friend of mine who got a ticket in L.A { his car} and he was in Chico at the time on vacation.

it's unlikely, cops wouldn't give a ticket to some strange name without proof. if they did, EVERYONE would "forget" their license.
most likely, cops would give you a short amount of time to show your license, otherwise they would fine you. (In Jersey, it's like $500)
if you lie to a cop, it's not illegal, but that would definitely piss them off. once they find out who you are, they can give you so many more tickets if they felt like bein ***** that day. trust me, there are so many diffreent labels for the same ticket they can give. reckless drivin, unsafe drivin (yes, they are different), failure to obey, stay in lines, blah blah blah. the list would keep going.
you'll get stuck with his fines too, so don't do it. they've designed to law to prevent crafty little monkeys from finding loopholes. if they find out you're a lil monkey, they'll destroy you. alone, you can not beat the system.
i don't think traffic violations count as felonies, unless you drive while suspended or something.

I seen something like this on a court show and the person had to pay all the bills associated with the ticket and any other damages.

Won't work Dude. The cops won't let you go until they KNOW who you are. And when they do, you're likely to be arrested for fraud.
Yep, it's a felony.
