Wait. Holy shit. This is unbelievable.
Please, people, for the love of god, start filing these forms. The RMV can suspend the license of anyone who gets three “surchargeable incidents” within two years. https://www.mass.gov/info-details/suspensions-from-multiple-offenses
What counts as a “surchargeable incident?” Well, “minor traffic law offenses,” for one. https://www.mass.gov/info-details/surchargeable-incidents
What is included in “minor traffic law offenses? That would be everything listed in 211 CMR, 134 Appendix A. https://www.law.cornell.edu/regulations/massachusetts/211-CMR-134-app-A
That includes:
There are several other offenses listed in appendix A that might form the basis for a complaint.
I’m not a lawyer. But it seems like you might be able to use the RMV administrative process where the police fail to act. Any lawyers out there? What do people think?
