Driving while deceased?

Let them try to collect, I was always told you can't take it with you. I guess Miami going to find out if that's true.

It's about the Line- If a line can be drawn between the powers granted and the rights retained, it would seem to be the same thing, whether the latter be secured by declaring that they shall not be abridged, or that the former shall not be extended.

That comment about going to court was clearly tongue in cheek because by the time it gets that far the estate will have been wound up and there'll be no one around to deal with the issue.

Once that happens let them track down the vehicle and impound it.

The estate has to pay for

The estate has to pay for ticket.

You have to love Florida

I can't believe that something like that could happen in Florida, LOL
And this from a state that could not figure out how to use a voting machine.

ATS

The car gets the ticket.

I thought it was the registered owner. ATS must now file a claim in probate court. Maybe Florida is different though.

In theory correct, but by the time the ticket would come up for collection the estate would have been wound up and the proceeds distributed - good luck to them collecting at that point. Their only option would probably be to exhume the body and hold it in a cell for ransom.

Possible Probate Issue

My wife died almost 3 years ago so I have a little experience in settling an estate. The risk would seem to be that the traffic court would block closure of probate so that the estate could not be settled. I am not sure if it was me responsible for the sister's estate if I would go to traffic court or not. They tend not to include a lot of thought, at least at times. It might be preferable just to take the risk it would come up in probate and, if it did, to settle the issue there. Traffic court could try and attach the estate but the probate judge would have the ability to throw it out, I believe.

If it continues down the "no brain" path they would issue a bench warrant for the dead sister. That wouldn't affect probate and it would close normally. Let the silly system deal with their warrant for a dead person.

Assuming they have documentation they surrendered the tags prior to issuance of the ticket, the only issue would seem to be getting a person to think a little - in the unlikely event it was a probate issue. Regardless of how the law is written it's hard to imagine a judge that actually thinks about this suggesting that the estate pay the ticket. The lady clearly wasn't driving nor was her car even involved. The system obviously ticketed the wrong vehicle.

Even though the person that got the ticket could not have possibly gone through a red light, her estate has to pay? What if the car gets another ticket, just keep paying? I can see how that resolves the issue.

around here the locals dont care who was driving the CAR is the one who is getting the ticket...?

Ghostly Ticket

Is there a copy of the ghostly photo of the car (and ghost driver) without the tag? How did they even identify the car? The ticket itself should be enough to clear the poor misguided deceased driver.

Dumb Laws on the books...really!

I saw a list like the following which I used for a radio progrm I used to host. I needed some humor. These law are really on the books. I checked. Among the laws you will find on the site is the following:

"If an elephant is parked at or tied to a parking meter in Florida, the parking fee must be paid just as if a car had parked there."

Here is the site itself: http://drbj.hubpages.com/hub/53-Dumb--Laws

There are a couple of sites that have different laws and some duplications.

For those of you who do not follow alternative media, let's see if you know about this: an attempted coup was planned to remove FDR from power to prevent him from implementing the new deal. It was financed by well known companies who were pro fascism. The word fascism was coined by Mussolini. It means "national corporatism." This was of great interest to the the American Industrialists of the day who were pro-nazi Germany.

In fact, Prescot Bush, G.W/'s grandfather gave money to Hitler until he was charged with "trading with the enemy act."

If you don't beleive it, just Google Prescot Bush dealings with Nazi Germany. As for the attempted coup against FDR, just Google "attempted coup against FDR." Both stories are facinating.

Finally, can anyone tell what if any branch of the government the Federal Reserve System belongs. (Here is a clue. You need to know the history of Interenational Central Banking in Europe and the history of Central Banking in the United States.)

If anyone is interested, I have a lot more of this stuff for those interested in history. Unfortunately, I have no POIs but having lived in the DC metro area for years I can probably come up with some.

I am also a, shall we say, student of the history of Intelligence (or the lack there of) in the United States.

If I have the time I can create some interesting POIs for different spots where certain trade craft operations took place. For instance, I know the where the mailbox is that famous spy Ames placed a mark to signal his Russian handlers.

LMAO !! :lol:

haha I laughed really smile
LMAO!! good point smile

Go to love it

our bureaucracy that is.

not clear enough

the story is not clear enough on..
1. if license plate has REALLY (with proof) returned to DMV before citation.
2. or, if the vehicle was operated without tag when the violation happened.

who knows... BOO!!

Hard to show

I would think it would be hard to identify the car if they did turned in the plates before the ticket was issued. There has to be more than one care like it,

If they do as you suggest and hold her for ransom, will Florida let her vote??

What are we talking about here?

Here in NYC 80% of the drivers are physically alive but FREAKING BRAIN DEAD.

I wish everyone had to take a REAL road test every 5 years when it is time for license renewal.
