Can't do much here Jeff, sorry.

This can't be 100% true, otherwise there wouldn't be any tickets given at the scene of an accident unless it was witnessed by the responding officer.
If I remember correctly, my MIL was in an accident a few years ago, completely not her fault. However, the idiot that hit her went to the police station and said she was speeding. She was mailed a ticket. She was able to fight it in court (if I remember correctly the responding officer showed up to court with her and basically backed her up), but she still had to go.
