I ended up getting court supervision and a drivers course for the 1st ticket. My question is how will this second ticket effect my court supervision if I received it before court supervision was granted? Will I get my license suspended? My record was clean before this and I am worried about the... View More

If the 2nd ticket occurred before you were on court supervision, then it is not a violation of your court supervision. Depending on where the second ticket happened, you may still want to get an attorney to ensure the 2nd ticket is handled correctly.
I went on yellow/orange. What could I say in court? If I plead not guilty and proven wrong is there an extra fee? Is it better to go with a jury or judge?

If you plead not guilty, you can present your case in court, possibly including any evidence or witnesses that support your claim that you did not run a red light. If you are found guilty after pleading not guilty, there may be court costs in addition to the original fine. Whether to opt for a jury... View More

Most policies give you 7-30 days to report a replacement vehicle. Not sure how that works with a motorcycle. Not clear what you mean by your insurance "would not cover me" when later you seem to be asking if they will cover you.
I was just wondering if this is a moving violation

The $3,000 means $300 bond but regardless of the amount, you don't want to skip out They will suspend your license until the cows come home so you need to deal with it.

This kind of charge is fact intensive. Meet with a lawyer who practices in the county in which the court is located.

Not likely. Those things can be remedied before trial. That is the job of the prosecutor not the cops
answered on Jun 9, 2023
Possibly. This case arises in the area of 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.

Yes, that will protect your license. You must have a parent or guardian with you in court and will be required to take a safe driving course.

Miranda rates are necessary when you are taken into custody. Furthermore, even if your Miranda rights are violated, it only six to suppress any statement you made.
When I was a minor I was pulled over for speeding and given a written warning as the officer understood my situation. Now 2 years later as an adult I received another written warning for speeding because of emotional distress. How do these differ on my driving record if they are at all and how do... View More

That is a question that would be best posed to a MN lawyer.

You would have to pose that question to a Michigan lawyer. They may have something similar to supervision, or perhaps reduced to a non moving violation.

No, those are not defenses to these charges. In addition, the tickets can be amended before trial to cure any defects.
Can I still pay

Contact the Clerk's Office to determine your options, that is the only way to know for sure.

Did you look at the ticket? Since they have no idea who you are, I assume the ticket is directed to the owner of the vehicle, which is not you.
Can I contest it now that I have the new plate and updated sticker?

The sticker is supposed to be valid at all times. Some judges will, if you show proof of late compliance, dismiss the ticket.
I was speeding on the highway and issued a warning for something else and a citation for speeding. There's no court date on my ticket and when I look my ticket up on the cook county clerks website my tickets doesn't seem to exist. Should I call the clerks office or just let it go?
answered on Jul 25, 2022
The Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County can be very slow loading tickets into their system. Keep checking and/or contact the Clerk's Office. Chances are that it will eventually show up.
