On Saturday, Aug. 25, for example, three traffic tickets were dismissed by the commanding officer of the traffic bureau. Rea-aona for the dismissals, according to the ticket records, were: 1.

The person tried to put money into a broken parking meter. 2. A person had parked the auto and was returning with change for the meter when the officer began filling out the ticket. 3.

The duplicate traffic ticket ays-tern is being used in Lincoln. When a traffic offense is committed the police officer makes two copies of the ticket. One goes to the violator and the other to the police department. In the case of violations which require a court appearance, the second copy of the ticket is filed with the traffic division until it is reviewed by City Prosecutor Thomas J. Gorham.

Detailed Report Corhara determines whether or not complaints should be filed against the party involved. "It's not Impossible for a traffic ticket to disappear completely," Carroll said. "But it's very unlikely because officers are compelled to write out a detailed arrest report for any ticket given in which the violator must appear In Municipal Court.
