A:
A “G” next to your name usually signifies a guilty plea on your record. This means you have formally acknowledged the charge against you. Admitting guilt can lead to various legal consequences, such as fines, probation, or other penalties.
Even after admitting guilt, filing a complaint with the court might be necessary for several reasons. You may want to address issues related to how your case was handled, seek a reduction in charges, or appeal certain decisions. Filing a complaint doesn't negate your guilty plea but allows you to raise specific concerns or seek remedies.
It's important to understand your rights and the implications of both actions. Consulting with a legal professional can provide clarity tailored to your situation. They can help you navigate the process and determine the best course of action to protect your interests.
