Today, I got a $200 ticket mailed to me for drunk driving in Maryland. I have never been pulled over for drunk driving and I have never been to Maryland. FML

1) $200 is way low for a drunk driving offense 2) You'd be required to appear in court 3) You'd be arrested on the spot It's a scam, fool.

maybe you were just reeeeally really drunk, and don't remember driving in Maryland. eeediot.

That's... Bad. Definitely contest that. Also, who the hell votes "You deserved it," for these things, anyways?

I agree with #5 that's a scam!!! Google the address, if it takes you to a post office p.o. box it is fake! Take it to your police department immediately! All contents of it, including the envelope it was sent in.

@#7 - no, you're right, first time offenders don't always get suspended, BUT a 200 ticket is cheapear than most low speeding tickets and REGARDLESS of what state yu are in they will hold you until you are sober enough to drive. No officer, in their RIGHT mind will say,...woops yourd drunk, off you go! This is either a scam or the dude is BSing to get a FML on here. AND even if it WERE true. wtf is this a fml. if its not you you contest it. Its simple. You call in, show proof it wasn't you and you're done. Id be more concerned over the idea that someone potentially stole my identity and is raking up tickets on my lisence.

Hehe, I am from MD and that kind of sounds like something our police force/government would do! As much as I love MD, some of the state officials don't seem too bright. In fact, the other night in class we were discussing the poor quality of some of the MD state websites. Go figure. I am sorry that happened to you.

I'm from Maryland, too. One time, I was sent a ticket for blowing through a red light in a part of the state I NEVER go. I drive a Mazda, the car in the picture was a Honda. They just read the liscence number completely wrong. Our police are a bunch of dumbies.

its a scam most likely, but yeah, you should be able to prove easily enough that you werent there. prove u were somewhere completely different at the time "you" were issued a DWI ticket

#25 is correct, one time my brother had his car surrounded by six cruisers in an empty parking lot because he had a flat and was changing his tire. Now, my brother is 6'6" and at the time was probably about 280 lbs, but still, there's no reason six cruisers are needed to check what he's doing. The police here are really dim-witted and have nothing better to do with their time it seems.

Hmm, something akin to this has happened to me. But it was a parking ticket from a state I hadn't been to it. It was because I had purchased my car fairly recently, and my plates were the same as the previous owners (who deserved the ticket). It took the state a while to find my car..It all worked out.. Maybe this is a similar situation... Though, drunk driving seems to be a thing you get pulled over for and the licence gets checked.

There is a woman who has the same name, including middle name as me, is born one day before me, same year, and who has the last four digits of her social the inverse of mine. I got her w2's last year. She has a much better job then I do.

maryland has a tendency to do that type of stuff. they sent me papers for owing them for income taxes for when i lived there when i was 12. im 19 now and i got the papers this year. i never had a job when i was out there. thats what messed up about them.
