[QUOTE="FordSVTFan, post: 11247152, member: 2243"] With any criminal charge, such as racing or reckless driving, the burden is on the state to prove their case beyond and to the exclusion of every reasonable doubt. A criminal ticket is a non custodial arrest and therefore in the case of a misdemeanor it almost always must be observed by the officer or have other reliable evidence to prove the charge. In this specific incident, if the officer did not observe any activity that meets the elements of the crime the prosecution would need a witness to testify to facts that substantiate the elements of the crime. However, I am willing to bet there is more to this than a "witness" just called in. There is also a thing called the "fellow officer rule" which allows one officer to report something to another and it is considered as if that second officer witnessed it himself for purposes of arrest.
