According to Ridgeland, MS if you get three tickets for no license, no insurance, and switch tag is it policy that you be detained? The tag wasn’t stolen it belong to my sister. I just bought the car.
I would be very curious to see an official copy of this policy. While there may be some statutes that allow for jail time following a conviction, simply getting a citation does not automatically mean mandatory detainment.
One would definitely think so. There have been several instances where officers pull someone over, not provide an official citation, and then still pursue it anyway...all of which is in violation of the statute and therefore invalid.
I'm already paying for an older charge, and I am not on probation
Likely not, as most people are not put in jail for tickets. That being said, as long as you are still paying towards your older charge, you should still be good to go. As to the car accident, I would encourage you to reach out to a lawyer, as you may be entitled to compensation if the other driver... Read more »
It really depends. Sometimes, a prosecutor may do away with the ticket because of the circumstances; however, there would need to be more information. I would highly encourage you to reach out to a criminal defense and personal injury to discuss further, not just for the ticket, but also for being... Read more »

You may want to consider contacting the local court and ask for the court clerk. Once you do that, then ask the clerk how much the fine would be.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy , civil traffic fines
A traffic ticket is not dischargeable in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
My question is the officer give me the date to appear in court
But instead of going there, can I call at the phone and accept the charge of those 3 tickets the total charge.
Or do I have to back to court in Mississippi .?
Most counties in Mississippi will allow you to waive appearance and pay the tickets in full in order to avoid coming back to Mississippi. Depending on the circumstances, this could be an option for you. I would contact a Mississippi attorney to discuss this further.
Charges of possession with intent to sell within 1500 ft of a church ; consealed evidence with intent to impair official procedure; conspiring to sell controlled substance
These are pretty serious charges, that carry some hefty fines and jail time depending on the amounts involved. You should seriously consider contacting a criminal defense attorney to further discuss.
Unfortunately, this is something that is fairly common, where the trooper casts a net to pull multiple cars over. What makes it worse is that there is no obligation on their part to actually show you the radar.
I got in a wreck in my neighborhood with a car that was parked on the right side of the road facing forward with them in the car being completely stopped. Would it be my fault or theirs.
It could depend on what the parking regulations were, what the weather/visibility conditions were, the operation of your vehicle, and other factors. You could consult with an attorney in Mississippi who could examine the matter in further detail.

I was across from the officer at a 4 way stop I stopped and went the officer spun around as fast as I passed and said he pulled m over because of a hit on my tag he couldn't have read checked and heard that fast
You may have cause to have it thrown out. I'd be curious to know if the officer cited you for any other reason than the tag, as well as the ultimate outcome once he ran the plates.
I was passing through Mississippi after hurricane Katrina hit. I have since forgotten about them. I live in Texas. And it is the only thing preventing me from getting my license here. I'm also looking to get my CDL shortly there after. I just want to know if I can start a payment plan or get... Read more »
Were you ever found not guilty or guilty? If not guilty, then you might could get an attorney to expunge them from your record, so that they will not pop up on a background check.
I have recently been paying fines on an old charge, misdemeanor traffic, now I have a new charge; and, a court date. What can I do?
It applies no differently than if you were a millionaire. Since you have been charged with a new crime, if it carries the possibility of jail time, then you are entitled to a public defender or appointed counsel if you cannot afford one.
There's a good chance that you have a warrant for your arrest for failure to show, assuming that a court date was set.
The officer said he used radar is he allowed to radar me in county and could it be a false reading because we were traveling opposite each other He was a state trooper
Certainly possible; however, given the facts as presented, you may have some ways to poke a hole in his allegation of speeding.
I was written a ticket for not stopping completely at a 4 way stop. The car in front of me went and I pulled forward. There was a car to my right that wen thru, then it was my turn again. I was stopped for 3-5 seconds.
You would need to be able to show that you don't own a car of that model.
It depends on the judge, but it could be enough based on incorrect information on the "affidavit" ticket.
I never had the name Manning at that time I wasn’t married and didn’t meet my husband till 2013 all judge see’s is first and last name he won’t pay attention to birth date that is 8 years off and wrong month wrong day wrong middle name he just wants money I need help he is a bad judge he needs fired
Given the facts of your case, it sounds like you have a viable defense to the contempt charges. Your best bet is going to be to contact an attorney to delve into the facts a little more and to develop a plan of action to address the deficiencies before the Court.
Also the ticket does not show the color of the car.
No, details concerning the model of the car is not considered to be substantively relevant towards dismissing a ticket.
2 no insurance 2 speeding and 2 driving suspended license and didnt go to court
Even though there has been a lag between the time of the tickets to now, you may be able to have the tickets tossed out due to failure to prosecute in a timely manner. My recommendation would be to contact a local attorney who can gather additional information and discuss the possibility of getting... Read more »
I think the answer is yes.
