Md. Bills Provide Punishments For Bogus Tickets

Under a bill from Delegate Jon Cardin, D-Baltimore, jurisdictions would be fined $1,000 for each bogus ticket.

"That doesn't mean (it applies) when the judge says, 'I'm not sure, not guilty.' No, it's obviously when it falls through the cracks," Cardin says.
