Addie
Chef Extraordinaire
When I was in the living room earlier to tell Himself that, guess what popped up on OUR TV news, Dawg? This story is getting more mileage than that kid drove!
I call BS, Addie. The Registry does not have the authority to issue traffic citations, just local and state police.
Not that he's an expert, but Himself said he would think that if you did call the Registry they would refer you to your own local police. It would then be up to the police department as to whether or not they wanted to station a patrol to catch people who run stop signs. I suppose I could verify this with Chief Steve the next time I'm at the town hall...except I'll have forgotten by then. Whatevah.
No, they would refer it to the State Police. They have an office of Troopers in the Main Registry office in Quincy. Also at least one officer in each regional office. I send mine to Quincy. Remember, my daughter worked for the Registry in the Administration Department in Quincy for more than 30 years. She is the one who gave me the information and the Officer's name that I should send it to directly. My daughter was, aside from the paper work, was also the one the State Police called when they had a "Want and Warrant" call for a stopped car.
Keep in mind that All traffic laws are governed by the State. Cities and towns even have to get to determine one way streets with the State's permission on the recommendation of the local law officials.
