I would assume that as in the US (most states) police cannot "Arrest" a license plate....I mean, its good to get the plate number BUT you will have to be able to ID the driver for a citation to be issued.......and since it will be a "Traffic" Arrest not a "Major" (Felony) charge, and monies sought by either person involved would be through "Civil Court"...and Citations issued for a traffic violation cannot be used as evidence in Civil Court................That citation is nothing more than "the belief is you violated a traffic law, and must appear to answer for it"........Its not a finding of guilty...............
yes I wrote some....not many
