Look at the location on the ticket, and ask the Town Clerk in Collins whether that area is within the Town.

The judge CAN do whatever the judge wants. A inspection ticket is not a "fix it" ticket, so you are not entitled to dismissal for getting inspection now. Some Judges may dismiss, or set a reduced for due to your current compliance.

If you ignore a ticket for 9 years, you will remain suspended forever until you take care of the ticket.
I want to take out my license again but how do I start off with when I have multiple tickets and one court from 10 years ago ?
answered on Jan 21, 2020
Depends on the Court. If you are not default convicted, go to each court, pay a suspension termination fee and post bail. You can either work out a plea deal, or set the matter for trial. Some of the officers will be retired.
So I have multiple tickets but there’s this one ticket that I got Because my 4 year old daughter was sitting on her seat then she took off her seat belt from her chair and got up and the police stopped me and gave me a ticket and a court however I lost my license so I didn’t go to court nor...

When you ignore a ticket in NY, it stays forever. 10 years or 30 years later, you need to deal with it if you want your driver's license back. How you deal with it is another question.
Received a speeding ticket in august of 2018. I never received a letter in the mail about court or paying a fine. It is now 2020 and I received a letter saying I have to go to trial or my license will be suspended
I received a violation for using a cell phone, in White plains,ny, while adjusting the volume on my blue tooth hearing aid. (I was holding the iphone in my hand to do this).
When making calls the iPhone sits on the seat next to me as my hearing aids make the call(s) hands free.

The question is not whether the pedestrians had the light: if the pedestrians were in the crosswalk, you were required to yield.
Even if you were technically guilty, you might win at trial. Even if you were not guilty, the officer's story might be different when he testifies at trial.
I have 4 tickets that occurred in 2016. 3 of them i was found guilty and recieved 9 points. This last ticket the date is coming up(3points). I was wondering i took a Defensive Driving course in May 2019. Will it count to help reduce my points if my license was to get suspended.
answered on Oct 17, 2019
Usually the answer is no: the class helps for ticket received/issued 18 months prior to the date of the course.
In your case, I am assuming that your ticket is filed somewhere in NYC, where the Judges (ALJs) have discretion to look at the points differently, and can take into consideration... View More

Now you fight the tickets. You can appear in court yourself, or hire a lawyer to argue the case for you.
section 1214. What would it be in "violation of?" Do I just write opening door in traffic under section 1214?
answered on Oct 5, 2019
No idea what form you are reading. Please post again with the name of the form you are filling out, and the court you are dealing with.
I forgot about my ticket with ten thousand things going on and I’m about to hand in a ticket and the court date is in two maybe three business days
answered on Oct 4, 2019
For traffic tickets you can find an attorney who can handle it last minute. Even the day of.
Somewhat recently found out my license was suspended. I called the court and she said to email her guilty or not guilty to move forward, I just want to know what I should plead and if I will receive points on my license for that.
answered on Sep 25, 2019
This ticket does not carry points, but it may affect your driving record. You can choose to either plead not guilty and fight it or plead guilty and pay the fine.

They can ask you, but you should not talk to the police without an attorney.
a police officer happens to be in building and showed up at court. he asked me if it's possible that the ruben Lopez which is me , got this ticket.. I said its impossible, because I never got stopped by any black police officer in my life.. this cop lied and he knows it and I know it, anyway... View More

Sounds like he said she said. The officer says they gave you the ticket, and the judge believed the officer, and found you guilty. If you have a warrant, that means there is probably a criminal charge issued as well for driving suspended. If you cannot afford a attorney, you may be eligible for a... View More
On July 25, 2018 I was pulled over and issued a ticket for violating VTL 1123. (After the fact, I realized I actually violated VTL 1124, the officer referenced the wrong statute.) I pleaded not guilty and received paperwork from the town court confirming they received my plea and noting they would... View More

There are a number of points in the proceedings where different statutes of limitations apply. I assume you are asking about the start of the case, which is one year form the date of offense. If that is not what you had in mind, ask again with more specificity.
answered on Aug 4, 2019
When you recived the ticket you were required to plead guilty or not guilty by a certain date. (should have been somewhere on the ticket) you can call the court to figure out the next step to getting your license un-suspended, or you can hire an attorney to do that for you.
Ticket was for holding an electronic device (GPS). Since the ticket said it was in the Bronx I have to go to the DMV there instead of Brooklyn. This was 2 years ago and now is my court date after all that time. Is there a possibility for dismissal?
answered on Jul 8, 2019
They are all part of the same administrative hearing system, so we do not think it will be dismissed for that reason.
License, its VTL 509-5 it's my first ticket or time getting pulled over how much would it cost for that if I plead guilty or do you think I could get it dismissed because it's a first time, I just turned 19 too.
