There is also my court date, but I’m just wondering why it says I can pay by mail when there’s no amount posted, so does that mean I must go to court?

Call the Court Clerk and ask. But paying it is a guilty plea and results in points on your DL. You may want to go to Court, as some type of diversion might occur.
We did have open containers but we wasn’t drinking and I wasn’t driving.

What is your question? You definitely need to hire an attorney to prepare for a Preliminary Hearing. You may not have committed a crime.
Cop says my muffler too loud but I’ve never had any cops say this before. He claims there’s no muffler but when I took a pic and showed him he still said it’s too loud. A mustang out of the factory is louder.

Best to correct the problem prior to Court, then advise the DA or Judge the loud pipe is now muffled. It might get dismissed.
There was no time to slow down as curve in road prevented seeing police flashing lights.
In TN do they regularly charge the 30 days jail for this violation?
answered on Aug 3, 2023
No, you usually pay fines and costs. And you get points on your DL. You might want to get a TN attorney to represent you and possibly obtain some type of diversion or a lesser Rule of the Road violation.

Usually a misdemeanor.

If a LEO observed a Rule of the Road violation, he has a 1 year SOL to initiate the charge. So you may or may not get charged.

Probably not. A good Motion To Suppress Evidence would need to be made. Hire a n attorney.

The driver's ball hitch hit our front tag, no damage. Driver continued on. We went to the ATM & are surrounded by approx 5 officers pointing guns at our heads. I got 2 tickets, 1 for leaving the scene & tailgating. We were STOPPED. WE WERE HIT. We were at our bank's drive-thru... View More

Since no arrest, only a short stop and detainment, damages are minimal. The Tickets(Citations) must be dismissed by the Court. So you need an attorney to go to Court on the Rule Of The Road Violations, and an attorney that knows GTLA law so a Federal Civil Rights Suit can be brought, or at... View More

Charges for parking occur everywhere in TN, handicapped or not.
I got the ticket when the courts were shut down bc of COVID. When they resumed I missed the court date bc I actually had COVID. I had forgotten all about it until now. So, I just want to know what the best way to clear this up. Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

No the FTA is a separate crime charge. Hire an attorney to take you to Court off the Docket and clear this up, especially since you have already pled guilty and paid the Court.
I called TN drivers license and they gave me a claim number

Hire an attorney to take you to Court off the Docket. Have cash ready to pay it off in full. It might get dismissed.

Hire an attorney to represent you. Conviction will mean 6 points against your MVR, and you are only allowed 11. It is very easy to get caught again within 1 year. Speeding will usually mean less points and there are numerous possible pleas. Once you lose the TNDL, it will be bad. Some type of... View More

Parking Citations are not usually Rule Of The Road Violations, but ordinance/code violations. But they can be criminal. Either ask your lawyer about them or do nothing else to get in trouble.
answered on Apr 19, 2023
It is not a crime. No points can be added to your MVR. But you can be sued for the debt.
2 years ago I was followed for 15m by a cop for no reason. I was pulled over after hitting the line on the side of road. It was night and I couldn’t tell it was a cop. Him following me for that amount of time was making me nervous so every turn I took he took and as I looked in my rear view to... View More

Go to the Court Clerk and get a copy of the Citation. If dismissed, then it can be expunged. If a conviction, only a few crimes can be expunged. Most convictions are permanent on your record. Take the Citation to an attorney for his opinion.
I had an officer demand mine for the ticket and threaten to detain me and impound my car if I didn’t give it. I’ve been driving over 30 years and this was the first time I’d ever had an officer even request it, let alone threaten to cuff me and put me in his car. Then when he gave me the... View More

Whether to cite or arrest you is the LEO's discretion. So if you do not cooperate, he may arrest you. The SSN is available from the Department of Safety. Hire an attorney to represent you as you have already made the cop mad.

You will need to contact a KY attorney, possibly here on Justia.

Excuse for what?

LEO's estimate by "pacing" all the time. You can question him in Court, but it is best to try to get some kind of diversion, leading to dismissal.
