Owner didn't tell me there was no insurance it was his moms car long story short she got rid of the car anyway I can fight this no insurance?
A couple of years ago? If you resolved the case years ago, it is too late to re-open this case. But is unclear from your question - is the case still pending?
It’s been almost 10 business days since I got my citation but I know for minors that if it is not up after a month, it does not have to be paid. Is that “rule” the same thing as a speeding ticket?
There is not a 10 or 30 day limit for them to file a ticket.
My husband is going to lose his license as a "habitual violator" from a failure to stop for a pedestrian in a crosswalk ticket which was deferred as long as no same or similar ticket was received in 12 months time. Since that time, he was issued a failure to stop at a stop sign, a careless driving... Read more »
It’s hard to say for sure without seeing the deferred prosecution agreement, but typically such an agreement calls for no moving violations. Get a copy of that to make sure what the agreement actually was.
The court is trying to reschedule due to troopers planned vacation. Do they have the right to reschedule the court date at their convenience?

I pumped gas, went into gas station and charged my cell phone for about 20 min and made a purchase. When I left the gas station and got onto the main road, the police had their lights on and pulled me over. There was no driving infraction, the officer told me specifically they pulled me over due...

It depends on the information that the gas station attendant provided to law enforcement. Law enforcement is permitted to rely on such calls as a basis for the traffic stop. But it is difficult to answer in a vacuum without access to the police reports or audio of the phone call that was made to... Read more »

A traffic ticket mailed in has this case type. The mailed portion does not have Endangering life or property checked. The fine itself is less than $200. Is this Misdemeanor charge more serious than speeding traffic ticket?
That means that the offense is a petty misdemeanor. It only carries a fine and not potential jail time. You do not have to appear in court. You can handle this administratively. But be aware that paying the fine is the equivalent of pleading guilty to the charge.
The citation was given after the police officer called me.
She said I didn't drove past a pedestrian and I thought I drove past after the pedestrian had crossed the road.

Hiring an attorney certainly minimizes the consequences that you might face. But you have to weigh the costs of hiring an attorney vs. what it would cost to simply pay the fine.

picked up and charged and did all my courts in MN. But there is still a warrant for my arrest in SC even though I was convicted for it in MN. How do I fix it?
It is unclear from your question why the warrant was issued in South Carolina. More information is needed on how to best address both the warrant in South Carolina as well as the charge(s) in South Carolina.
This question is linked to the "passing by school bus infraction" one. I know that at any court I can get a lawyer. But, for what I understand by your previous answer, that this infraction is not simple a "payable offense", Should we hire the service of a lawyer to go to court? Our guess was simple... Read more »
Paying the ticket is an admission of guilt. There may be able way to keep this off of your record, but blindly going to court and pleading guilty is not one of them. Speak directly with an attorney regarding this matter. There are ways to keep if off of your record.

The conviction was a petty misdemeanor which is also considered not a crime in Minnesota. Does this... Read more »
The correct answer, if it is have you have committed a crime, is yes. The fact that it was resolved as a petty misdemeanor, which is not a crime, doesn't mean that it wasn't a crime when the offense occurred. Questions like this are very specific on the language that is used, so I would be clear... Read more »

In my mind, discussing pick up and drop off would fall under discussing parenting time. But you certainly should not meet her or have any contact with her outside of the OFP. You should not argue with her. You should not even respond to contact that addresses issues outside of the OFP.
And it sat on a person's desk for 17 months before being charged
