can court charge me with something else but i didnt get a ticket for it? So i got a seatbelt ticket and my friend also got a ticket because apparently he holds responsibility for me. But then i check the law that says if i was 16, i hold responsibility for my own seatbelt and not him. Im sure i can win this case at court, but im just worried to go to court because technically my friend was 17 and he was taking me home. But he didnt get a ticket for underage driving. If i go to court to argue about my ticket, can the judge accuse my friend for driving me? The police never gave him a ticket for driving a passenger, so is the judge allowed to accuse a different case?
Okay im not trying to get out of my ticket. I will pay my seatbelt ticket, but my friend doesnt deserve his ticket because im 16. His ticket is 140 dollars and it shouldnt have been charged. My question is that if i bring this to court can they charge my friend with a different case in which he was not suppose to be driving me in the first place because he's only 17. However the police never gave him that ticket
 
If, while under oath and in an attempt to defend yourself or answer to a charge, you implicate yourself in another offence (ie: "I didn't see the little old lady cross the street right before I hit her because I was driving stoned") then they can charge you for that. Didn't you see the last 5 minutes of the movie "A Few Good Men"?
 
some things are better left alone. What are seat belt tickets ? $10? That's what they are in our state. I wouldn't argue it. because in order to fight it, you'd have to plead not guilty, then there would have to be a full investigation and technically they COULD charge him with more if they found out more.
