Just because the warrant expired does not mean that the case went away. The case is likely still pending and the prosecutor could ask for the warrant to be reissued at any time. You are well advised to take this opportunity to try to resolve your case. If you have not been fingerprinted and... Read more »

You can file a petition to waive reinstatement fees, but it would be wise to also discuss your record with a criminal defense attorney to see if anything can be cleaned up on your record.
The officer has put my first name in the last name box, my middle name in the first name, and my last name in the middle initial. All the other information is correct. I live in Illinois, and I have Illinois driver's license.

Unfortunately, it is unlikely that your ticket will be dismissed if this is the only incorrect information. Transposing your name will likely be considered what is called a “scrivener’s error”. Prosecutors will probably be allowed to amend the ticket to reflect your correct name. If you have... Read more »
Occurred in Whitestown, Indiana. Will put 2 points on driving record. The deferral will cost $80.50 more than the ticket. If no citations in a year, then the case will be dismissed. I am assuming dismissal will mean no record of speeding or the ticket and no points on driving record.

Your options are to pay the ticket and have a conviction and points on your record as well as the possibility of your insurance rates increasing. Take the deferral option, stay out of trouble and the case gets dismissed and the BMV will never know of the ticket. Though if you do get another... Read more »

Expired plates should not add any points to your record since it is not a moving violation. If you have already renewed your plates; I suggest contacting the prosecutor's office and provide them proof. The prosecutor may be willing to dismiss the case for you being in compliance.

It can be used to attack credibility of the witness, however unless there is something more, as long as the witness is accurate with everything else, including identifying the defendant as the violator in Court, it most likely will not be enough to help the defendant.

If the suspension ended in 2014 then there should be no reason it would prevent you getting a license. However, there may be a reinstatement fee. Also, there could be other reasons preventing you from getting a valid license. If you do not have a myBMV account, set one up and look at your... Read more »

You would be responsible to pay the ticket since you were the one who committed the infraction. However, the company would have to send proof to the BMV on your behalf to show the vehicle was insured. If you pay the ticket, it will put points on your record and could cause your own insurance...

It depends on the person's status with the BMV. IF they are suspended-infraction, then they will continue to get tickets and not criminally charged. Though, if they plead to one of the DWS tickets, the status will change to DWS-prior and the person could be arrested and criminally charged.
answered on May 22, 2022
It sounds like you were cited with an Infraction.
Infractions (e.g. speeding tickets, parking tickets, etc.) are civil court matters involving the violation of a statutory rule or local ordinance. Infractions do not result in a criminal record.
If you had been charged with a... Read more »

If you have the correct registration for the vehicle, contact the prosecutor's office. They may be willing to dismiss the case. If not, contact an attorney.

If your case is an infraction and you do not pay by the deadline the court should not issue a warrant, though I have seen it done. However, your license would most likely be suspended.

It may be possible to set aside the judgment. However, if you are suspended for a proof of insurance violation, even setting aside the judgment may not remove the suspension. You may be eligible for specialized driving privileges if you can not clean up the suspensions.

Review the letter in more detail to see if there is an exclusion, my guess is there is not. It should also give you a phone number to the prosecutor's office to call and get more clarification.
