Fake / Snitch Ticket
(If you haven't already done so, please read the Fake Ticket section on the Your Ticket page.)
Here is a sample Snitch Ticket, from the City's website* where their innocent-sounding explanation is:
"If more information is needed to process the original citation a Traffic
Violation Notice is
sent to the registered owner, who then completes the information
and
mails the form back to Redflex Traffic Systems who processes the new information."
I have modified the Notice (Snitch Ticket!) slightly, by adding a motorist's name.
Please note that while this Snitch Ticket calls itself a "Notice to Appear" (look in the fine print of the so-called "Certificate of Mailing" at the bottom of the front page), that does not convert it into a real ticket. A real ticket must contain a Notice to Appear section, printed in the official format.

Real Ticket
Here is the City's example of a real ticket, also from their website where they called it a "citation." This form for a real ticket says "NOTICE TO APPEAR," tells you to "respond to the court," and gives the name and address of that court - things you will not find on a Fake Ticket.
