A: That's a big fat NO. IF the officer did not give you a ticket with a court date, and informed you that "this was just a warning" - you should not have to appear in court. Be mindful, though, that IF he did provide you with a ticket, most of the time (if not all of the time, and depending on the nature of the infraction) the ticket may list a pre-payable price at the bottom, as well as a court date if you do not wish to pay the ticket and wish to contest it.

A: No. No ticket, no court.
