Q: PC 3691 b 1 oay fine without court appearance.
A:
PC 3691(b)(1) is a penal code section in California that deals with failure to appear in court. It specifies that a person who fails to appear in court as required for a misdemeanor offense may be subject to additional penalties and charges.
Regarding whether or not a person can pay a fine without a court appearance for a PC 3691(b)(1) violation, it depends on the specific circumstances of the case. In some cases, a person may be able to pay a fine or resolve the case without appearing in court, while in other cases, a court appearance may be required.
If you have been charged with a PC 3691(b)(1) violation and are uncertain about whether or not you need to appear in court, it is recommended that you consult with a lawyer or legal professional who can advise you on the specific requirements and procedures in your jurisdiction. They can also assist you with any questions or concerns you may have about your case and help you to navigate the legal system.
A:
With a misdemeanor, your criminal lawyer can usually appear on your behalf.
In some courts, for instance, domestic violence requires your appearance at the arraignment.
That is not the case with a Felony.
You should consult with a local lawyer who often practices in that court.
Every judge is different in what they require.
More info is needed.
Have you been to court already?........and have you already plea and thus are asking if you can pay the fine without going to court, or will this be your 1st appearance?
With a criminal case, the court will appoint a public defender if you can't afford a lawyer.
good luck.
