If all you Brits were not criminals and hooligans, this abuse would not have happened in the first place.
You people are almost as bad as Nigerians.
What do YOU mean, you people?

If your car is stolen and they speed then return it to you and you get a ticket, do you have to pay the fine? Will you if it is hard to prove it was stolen from you for a few hours?
Honest questions here. Do not know how it works in us law.

In some cities if you are caught picking up a prostitute in ANYONE'S car, they confiscate the car. Doesn't matter if I'm driving your car, mine, or a rental. It's gone. Then they put your name and photo in the paper.
The speeding ticket issue would apply for the auto-ticket machines. They take a photo of your number plate and mail you the ticket. The owner of the car is the responsibly party.
If there is an analogy to be used, it would be that one.
