Lawmakers grill Connecticut State Police about fake traffic ticket scandal

HARTFORD, Conn. -- Lawmakers on Wednesday grilled Connecticut State Police about a fake traffic ticket scandal.

A recent audit found nearly 26,000 tickets were falsified over a seven-year period.

During Wednesday's hearing, the police commissioner promised to take action.

The chair of the public safety committee said a thorough review is underway.

It's believed the tickets were written for made-up people and that no one was actually fined.
