Your son can provide them proof that the money belonged to him rather than you and you can probably retrieve the money. If not, you may have a wrongful garnishment claim against them.

Q: So I’m 17 years old and got pulled over for going 25 over on highway 27 in Kentucky. Will I get my license suspended?

The cop said it’s not payable and I have to appear in court. Will it go on my record if it’s currently completely clean? And do I have to hire a lawyer or will the court provide me one? Is it necessary for me to have a guardian with me?

Timothy Denison

answered on Jun 14, 2023

If it’s 25 over, that is not a suspension ticket but 26 over is suspension level. You should hire a lawyer to protect your censor. Most likely it can be resolved without you losing your license.

Q: I got pulled over for going 89 in a 70. If I pay the ticket do I have to go to court?

I’m okay with taking the classes and getting some of the points taken away and I don’t really want to go in front of a judge.

Timothy Denison

answered on May 2, 2023

No. If you pay the ticket, you don’t have to go to court. However, 19 over is a 6 point violation. You might want to consider hiring a lawyer to appear for you and get the charge amended. That way you don’t lose any points and you still don’t have to go to court.
