what is fixing tickets
Ticket fixing. Ticket fixing is a practice in which a public official destroys or dismisses a pending traffic ticket as a favor to a friend or family member. For example, police officers in a number of jurisdictions have been charged with destroying pending tickets at the request of other officers. Judges have also been accused of ticket fixing. Some police officers consider it a professional courtesy extended to friends and relatives of police officers. However, the practice is unpopular with the general public, and is illegal in most jurisdictions.
