Littleton Police Chief Targeted By Online Scam
Presumably Chief Matthew Pinard would know if he got a speeding ticket.

LITTLETON, MA – Online scammers might want to check who they're trying to swindle next time. Littleton Police Chief Matthew Pinard received an email notifying him of a "speeding violation" on Shattuck Street.
The email directed him to pay the ticket online by clicking a link. Presumably he would have remembered being pulled over by one of his own officers, so he knew not to click it.
Police are now warning residents of this new online scam and advise anyone who receives this type of email to not click the link and delete it.
