Q: If I pay the bond and not go to court will it stay on my record? And will it limit future opportunities for me?
I was found with 2 fake ids in my car.
Violation number: 56-01-0510
It is not required I go to court and the bond is $440.
A: If you pay the bond and dont go to court then they will have a tia (trial in absentia) and most likely find you guilty. They will keep the bond amount as the fine amount for consequences of finding you guilty. Then the charge will be on your record. I would talk to an attorney as the facts of the situation may change the advice you receive on how to resolve the matter.
