$800 ticket for going 10mph over the limit, (no not me) Options

[amysmojo]

My brother in-law was up in Seattle on business driving a rental car when he got pulled over for doing 45 in a 35. He said the girl looked really young & fresh out of the academy. (just keep that in mind)

Anyway she asked for his information, & since it was a rental car he handed her the packet of information supplied to him from the rental place. She takes it & comes back w/ a ticket for $800!! He asks her why its so high & she said "oh, you didnt have proof of insurance" So he told her that it was in the packet he handed her. She looks through it again & says "oh! yeah here it is" He asked her if she was going to re-write the ticket...but she said that it was too late to change because it was already submitted! So he now he has to go to court to straighten it out.

What kind of BULL S***T is that!??? I would be so pissed! It was her frikin fault so I think she should have to fix it.......right!?

He doesnt even live up there so now he has to make a special 3 hour road trip to go to court because of her mistake...

even if the female cops shows up in court. he's not liable to pay the $800 fine since it's not his mistake.
