speeding ticket


Question Posted Tuesday February 13 2007, 12:22 pm

my boyfriend and his mom are at the place to pay for his brothers speeding ticket. but they say they cant let her pay for it unless his brother signs it and he isnt with them. so their out in the car and she keeps telling my boyfriend to sign it for him (copy his brothers which is forging) and i told him no dont do it. and he was telling me she was making him and i just kept telling him no so he was talkin to his mom and was like i dont want to and what if i dont. were both 15 and i was wondering what would happen if he did.

the chances of his mom getting caught are pretty much zilch. they never compare a person's signature with previous signatures. they have no freaking clue what anybody's handwriting looks like. it's not a big deal. honestly, if it's not hurting anybody, it shouldn't matter. for instance: at school we had to turn in forms signed by parents by a certain date or else we would get detentions. so four of my friends forgot to get theirs signed, so i forged their parents signatures. and the teachers never looked at them. it wasn't hurting anybody, and i kept my friends out of trouble. i forge stuff for my mom all the time- she has arthritis so sometimes it hurts her to write. so when i have something for her to sign and she's in pain, she just tells me to sign it. i have loopy cursive, so it looks legit. and as long as you have permission to forge it, then nobody can give you any crap about it. besides, nobody will ever find out anyway. they can't tell.

Don't get me wrong, forgery is a serious crime, but in all likelihood, she's not going to get caught. It's just one signature and these things aren't looked over very carefully. Even if she does get caught I'm sure she can get out of it pretty easily. She didn't get anything out of the crime, so it's not as bad as most forgeries. My guess is that if caught, she would just have to pay a fine. Remember that it was her choice to do it, she knew that it was wrong, and she could have left, gotten the correct signature and gone back. So, she should be able to accept any and all consequences of her actions. What she did was stupid. Yes, she should get caught and pay the consequences, but I think I can safely say that she won't. It would be very hard to prove that she was the one that did it and it wouldn't be worth the police's time to try to figure it out. There are more serious crimes going on that take priority over something foolish like this. Try not to worry so much. :)

Your only worry should be if your boyfriend takes after his mother in her disrespect for the law, however small of a crime it was. Even though he wouldn't sign it himself, he may have if you weren't there and he may think that what his mom did was okay. If I were you I'd talk to him about it in a few days and try to see how he feels about what his mom did. Good luck. :)

She would probably go to court and go to jail for a couple of says or weeks!! FORGING IS A MAJOR CRIME ACTUALLY

If they found out, she would probably be prosecuted for forgery. It is illegal for anyone to sign another person's signature to any document. She broke the law. It's too bad she tried to get her son to do it for her first, though. He did the right thing by not signing it.

I'm not exactly sure what would happen to her, I imagine that depends on your state laws on forgery.

hey, well forging is illegal. she is going to suffer the consiquences(sp?). she is pretending to be someone that shes not, stealing someone identity. she could go to jail for that.
