On the street with the police is not the place to make these sort of challenges. Generally, you have a legal obligation to stop and identify yourself at an officer's request - this includes passengers in a vehicle. However, unless the passenger has active warrants or is otherwise arrestable,... View More

What they have probably scheduled a court date for is a Pre-trial, where you will meet with the prosecuting attorney for the jurisdiction that issued the ticket. You can tell the prosecutor your situation, and they might be willing to give you more time to get the vehicle registered, by either... View More

If there is damage, if there are witnesses, if it is reported, if it is investigated.......yes. If no damage, no.

Call the court tomorrow and ask them what this is about. I hope you have proof of payment from back at the time. Sometimes courts do make mistakes, and they can misfile things. Be very clear that you paid it. Sincerely, Frank B. Ford

First, I recommend that you retain an attorney. A misdemeanor is not something you should attempt yourself. An attorney may have a working relationship with the city attorney/prosecutor and may be able to obtain a better outcome than you can yourself. Not always, but in most cases.

You will be expected to pay any fine on the day of court. You MIGHT be given a little time to pay, but don't count on it. Sincerely, Frank B. Ford

To fully answer this question, his complete Certified driving record would have to be reviewed, but an Impeding Traffic charge, if paid within the period stated on the ticket, will not go onto the driving record and should not have any impact beyond having to pay the fine. Does the ticket say that... View More

The ticket will say the number of days in which you must respond. Often, just calling the court is enough to satisfy that particular deadline. You can ask for an Informal Hearing or a Formal Hearing. In some circumstances, it is ok to have an Informal Hearing, which is done without attorneys on... View More

At 80 mph, you probably should get the help of an attorney. The ticket will say the number of days in which you must respond. Often, just calling the court is enough to satisfy that particular deadline. You can ask for an Informal Hearing or a Formal Hearing. At an Informal Hearing, there are no... View More

Speed Too Fast for Conditions is a Civil Infraction, not a Misdemeanor. If the officer marked the misdemeanor box, it's a mistake. That's not enough to get out of the ticket, but it might give a little leverage in negotiating some kind of deal on the charge. Just to make sure it is a... View More

First, understand that Reckless Driving is a crime, not just a ticket you can go pay. If convicted, it will go onto your criminal history record, as well as your driving record. Most courts will require a court appearance on a Reckless Driving charge. It is a six point violation, which is the... View More

Most, though not all courts, don't take any criminal action (such as holding a person in contempt and issuing a bench warrant) for not paying a civil infraction ticket, which is what speeding charges are. If you paid it only five days late, I doubt very much that anything will happen as a... View More

The cost of an attorney varies depending on a number of factors, such as the city in which the ticket was issued, what the actual charges are, the attorney's level of experience, and their experience in the particular court. If you haven't called a couple of attorneys to see what it... View More

It's not clear what your question is. If one of the charges is Failed to Obtain a Michigan license, then go get one right away, and take it to court on your court date. Getting an attorney to help sort this out for you would be a good idea. Attorneys can often reduce the consequences of a... View More

Well, you should contact the court as soon as possible and find out what the status of the ticket is and what your options are for what to do next. It could be that the court has not yet entered a default and sent that to the Secretary of State, which would then suspend your driver's license.... View More

Most Probation Orders make it a condition of probation that you not violate any laws. It is then up to the Probation Officer to decide if the law you have apparently violated is significant enough that they feel it is appropriate to violate your probation. And then it is up to the Judge to decide... View More

This depends on the terms of your probation, but I would be shocked if a parking ticket had any impact on things. Frankly even a civil infraction like speeding probably won't unless there is a provision in your probation terms about CIVIL INFRACTIONS as opposed to crimes.

Not knowing what it was for, hard to say. For starters be neat in appearance. Slacks, collared shirt, haircut if a man, no facial jewlery, no major tats showing, no hoodie saying "yes sir " and "yes m'am" are good starts.

Why not consult someone who handles tickets in that county?

If the ticket is clearly marked as a warning, and there are no other charges on the ticket, then no, you don't have to go to court, and the "appear on or before" date was just pre-printed on the ticket. BUT, if it is a charge for Impeding, and the box marked C/I, beside where it... View More

Not by itself. But, if you ignore the fine, your driver's license will be suspended, and your first hint that you license was suspended will likely be when you are arrested for driving on a suspended license.
