is it legal to issue two tickets for the same offence on the same day? my husband was giving three tickets for a hawk trap he had set by his pigeon coops. they left him hanging for about a year before they issued the tickets, two of which were for the presence of the trap. the officer said he drove by it was there and later that week when they busted him it was there, so he issued him two tickets, isn't there something about having had to actually issue the first ticket before he could write the second? otherwise he could have written him as many tickets as he could pump out while standing there and viewing the trap?
