The first thing you should do is ask for supervision on the second ticket. In order for them to revoke the supervision on the first ticket, they would have to know about it. (I don’t know if they were both in the same county) and then file papers with the judge to have the supervision revoked).... View More 
My husband, 28, has a clean driving record prior to this incident. He got t-boned in an intersection and was issued a citation from the reporting officer for running a red light. The officer told him, because it was a collision, that traffic court is required. Why is that?? Will it be considered... View More

Take a photo of the plate, go to court and prove you are in compliance and probably get the ticket dropped. It is not a violation that would be recorded to your driving record. It’s kind of ridiculous waste of time on the cop's behalf though.
My license plates show up as plates suspended. I was told by the DMV I received a letter regarding mandatory liability insurance. I am unaware of receiving this so I do not have information. I use Hugo insurance and pause or turn off on days when not driving. I checked SOS website, after entering... View More
I was taken to the jail told to dress out even though they didn't have any charges nor did they even know my name when I got there. The deputy sheriff even said I had no charges and he didn't know why I was there

Being strip-searched during a traffic stop can raise serious legal concerns. Generally, law enforcement officers must have a clear justification for conducting a strip search, such as reasonable suspicion that you are carrying contraband or weapons. If you believe your rights were violated, it may... View More

for a first offense what would likely be the punishment

Speeding 26-34 over is a Class B misdemeanor under Illinois law. This is a criminal offense, which is why you have a mandatory court appearance. An attorney can certainly assist and help ensure you receive the best possible result.

Identifying lawyers who advertise practicing "in law" as opposed to "at law" can be nuanced due to the way legal advertising rules are structured and enforced. The distinction is subtle and may not be explicitly stated in most advertising materials.

I do not know, but anyone could go up there and get a copy. It's a matter of public record.
Or can they mail you the ticket in the mail and how long do they have to do that

They can mail it. Hand deliver. No requirement that they hand you the ticket on the spot.
Ticket is for expired plate sticker (11 months). Officer wrote court date and time but did not mark the boxes..whether it is required or not. Am I supposed to show up on that date, even if I send a payment for the ticket?
answered on Apr 10, 2024
You should not have to appear in court if the box for "court appearance required" is not checked (even if there is a court date listed on the ticket). You can contact the Clerk of the Circuit Court to confirm. Regardless, it is likely that the ticket will be dismissed if you appear in... View More

I recently received a ticket for going 22mph over the limit in Will County. I also got a warning for following too close. I have a ticket with court supervision from a different county in Illinois from a little over a year ago. How likely are my chances of court supervision? Also, is it better to... View More

Practices on these maters vary by jurisdiction so a Will County judge would now better. A judge can give supervision to you up to two times in a period of 12 months. I think you get probably qualify again. I don't think it maters how you do it.
I think the speeding ticket was in Cook county.

There are several possible courses of action depending on the impact it is having on your Missouri license, if any. If it is causing an issue, an attorney here in Illinois can likely handle the matter without you returning to Illinois.

If he observed you committing the offense in his jurisdiction and followed you to another jurisdiction definitely. If he saw you committing the offense in another jurisdiction, while he was in his jurisdiction, highly likely that he can. Most jurisdictions have cross jurisdiction agreements.

In Iowa, expunging a charge from your record depends on the type of offense and your criminal history. For OWI (Operating While Intoxicated) charges, Iowa law does provide for expungement under specific conditions, but generally, OWI convictions are challenging to expunge. If your case did not...

This should be directed to an Indiana attorney for specifics, but in general, I was speeding, but I wasn’t speeding as fast as a claim is not a good defense.
Secretary of State didn’t remove the lease off the plates. I was wondering if I can avoid the ticket.
answered on Jan 9, 2024
Yes, it’s possible to avoid the ticket depending on a number of factors including, but not limited to: where you received the ticket, whether you have proof of compliance, driving record and other factors. I recommend contacting an attorney who can explain further.
Thanks
I've never received a ticket before and I'm not from the area. I was out on my lunch break in a car rental and I needed gps. I was not distracted at all. I just didn't have a place to put my phone while on gps.
