Does that still make it a verbal speeding warning
I also didn’t have insurance at the time but I paid my fee and got insurance, but I still have to appear in court for the tags I believe.
So I got two tickets one for no plates and failure to register vehicle. I was able to pay one ticket on casenet but the other ticket isn’t allowing that option for the no plates. Does that mean I have to show up to the court date ?

If the ticket is for a non-moving, no-point infraction (such as Failure to Register a Vehicle), you can go to Missouri Casenet online and pay the fine, and you won't have any points added to your driving record, and it won't affect your insurance rates.
For the 2nd ticket, you can... View More 
I got a speeding ticket in May 2022 in Jefferson County, nothing has ever showed up on casenet Is there a statue of limitations since they never seemed to have filed the ticket and it's been over a year??

A statute of limitation limits the time a case can be filed against a person. The time period begins to run on the day after the incident (i.e. the day a person receives a citation). The statute of limitations for infractions is six months. Section 556.036.2(3), RSMo. Misdemeanors have a one year... View More

Arrests do show up on criminal background checks. However, it depends on what type of employer is running the background check. If it's an "entitled entity" type of employer (police, schools, hospitals, daycare, nursing home, insurance company, etc.), they are entitled to see... View More
I have had two cops tell me it should have been in the system after 10 days and the cop probably decided to not file it. I don’t want a warrant. I just want to pay and move on.

There is nothing you can do until the ticket is filed on Casenet.
After the ticket is issued, it goes to the Prosecutor for approval, then it goes to the court clerk to be filed on Casenet. It is possible that a ticket might get lost or the Prosecutor might decide not to file it, but that... View More

In Missouri, whether or not the officer had you sign the ticket does not affect the validity of the ticket itself. The lack of a signature on the ticket does not automatically invalidate it or provide grounds to have the ticket dismissed.

Depends on the officer as there are a range of options from felony forgery to failure to register a motor vehicle or failure to display license plates.
Will my driving privileges be suspended?
answered on Jun 9, 2023
Possibly. Depends why you didn't have a license. Was it suspended? Never issued? This case arises under traffic ticket law. You need to discuss with an attorney in your jurisdiction that specializes in this kind of law. Thank you for using Justia, Ask a Lawyer.
My boyfriend was in a car chase with local authorities on his harly Davidson. And I was wondering if the land owner had to tell them to tow it because it ended on private property and a foot chase but it was on one of our friends property
answered on May 24, 2023
It isn't possible to give you an exact answer because it depends on the circumstances and the charged offence whether the police can impound the HD. If there was a car chase and the HD drove onto private property, that does not put it into a safe haven and the police may be able to impound... View More

Yes, an experienced traffic law attorney may be able to withdraw her guilty plea and get the ticket amended. However, the outcome depends on 1) which court her case was prosecuted in, 2) how fast was she driving, and 3) how much time has passed since she pleaded guilty and paid the fine.

The police officer is not required to appear for a regular court date for a speeding ticket. If Defendant pleads not guilty and requests a trial, the prosecutor will have the police officer come to court to testify. If the officer doesn't show up for the first court appearance, the judge will... View More
My son got a ticket mailed to him saying he ran a red light back in December and got the ticket in March. How well do these tickets hold up in court or is it worth fighting
answered on Mar 15, 2023
It is legal in Missouri for a court to mail a ticket to a defendant.
A red light violation is a moving violation, so your son can hire an attorney to get it amended to a non-moving, no-point infraction so it won't affect his driving record or car insurance rates.
Of limitations? The first was for a windshield and window tint and the second was for having a tinted plastic cover on his license plate.
answered on Feb 19, 2023
Yes, this was filed within the 1-year statute of limitations. The Prosecutor has 1 year from the date when the ticket was issued by the police officer to file the charges.
Pulled over on the 11th for failure to register. Was issued a citation. I looked on Casenet and the officer had issued a 2nd citation which I was not even aware of.
answered on Jan 16, 2023
Yes, the police officer issued the ticket, but then it went to the Prosecutor, who can add an additional charge if they want.
answered on Oct 24, 2022
Yes, you can hire an attorney to get your Driving While Suspended ticket amended to a non-moving, no-point infraction. You will have to get your license reinstated and provide your attorney with proof of reinstatement. You will have to pay all fines and court costs before the Prosecutor will amend... View More
I got the ticket in Missouri but while in his vehicle when he gave me the ticket on camera he never asked me to sign it on any of the signature spots is the ticket valid he didn't sign the printed out ticket anywhere either
answered on Oct 1, 2022
Yes, the ticket is valid. It makes no difference if the police officer didn't sign the ticket or if you didn't sign the ticket. After the police officer issues a ticket to a driver, the prosecutor has to approve the ticket, and then it goes to the court clerk to be filed on Casenet.... View More
