Why did I have to put my fingerprint on the traffic ticket I received?
When a citizen is stopped in their car for a traffic violation and they do not have their driver's license with them to prove their identity, the officer will have the driver place their fingerprint on the ticket. We do not have a system in the field to capture prints other than with ink.
