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.
It was for a minor traffic violation in Kentucky

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

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.
I missed my court date by oversleeping and now I’m scared. My husband has to pay $650 for restitution and the problem is over but we missed showing up and I don’t know what to do. My husband will be paid tomorrow morning and we plan to pay the restitution but I don’t want to go to jail or do... View More

You need to hire an attorney to talk with the State about lifting the fta warrant.
I was stopped by a police officer told me to give him my ID then I replied, asked the police officer what was the reason for my stop but he insisting that I give him my ID, but I asked him again what was the reason why I was stopped. I reply that I’m not refusing to give him my ID but wanna know... View More

You could move to suppress the evidence but it does not seem to justify the expense and trouble. Might be better to hire an attorney just to work it out at Court.
I plead guilty because at the time they didn’t offer traffic school, and it’s been 3 years later and it still shows on my record. I’m an electrician and didn’t know when they would fall off my license that way I can drive a company vehicle.

It should not be on your MVR for the DOS which is for the last 12 months. But it is still a conviction which will be on your NCIC check forever.
I wasn’t asked for my registration or insurance and I just moved from Illinois and I have to appear in court, feb 3rd what should I do, and can I get the ticket dismissed if I didn’t get asked for insurance or registration?

No, but go to Court with cash. There may be some Diversion available from the Judge, or even a reduced speed violation, as that 23 over will add points at least to a TNDL.
Is it better to just pay them online? I had points on my record prior to this so it will probably end up getting suspended anyway. So don’t know if I should even go to court or just pay online

Absolutely hire an attorney to represent you on both Citations. Once the TNDL is Suspended, you will be going to jail all the time. Do not pay by mail as it will be an irreversible mistake.
He was driving behind me for a little until he pulled the person beside me over. So is there a chance he could’ve got my license plate? So should I expect something in the mail

It is possible that the LEO will show up at your address on your DL to serve the Citation, but it appears unlikely.

If your record shows that you are being charged with a crime, you want to take it serious and hire a criminal defense attorney to act on your behalf to ensure that your rights are preserved.
It is now 2022 and when I call to obtain information about this case they tell me I have to come in for court to resolve. What is the likely hood of me going to jail or paying a fine? I need my license but I live in TN and have to go to Kentucky courts.

Hire an attorney to take you to Court off the Docket. Take money to pay off the costs. Get a paid in full Receipt for the Dept of Safety. This is how to handle it in TN. If KY Court, then ask your attorney.
I paid a child restraint ticket this morning and was charged $175.00 1st offense. I looked up the cost for TCA 55-9-602 and it stated that the fine was $50.00. I went back in and ask the clerk why it was so high she really never came up with a understandable answer. I told her I wanted to keep my... View More

You have already pled guilty. Within ten days of your plea, you might move to set aside your plea. Hire an attorney if this goes further.
I realized the other day that my traffic ticket has the wrong license plate number on it. I had given an old registration and he acknowledged it but said that I had the new blue plate so obviously I had up-to-date plates. I believe the license on the ticket is my old one but I'm not 100% as... View More

General Sessions is not a Court of record, so amendments are made quickly. Explain Citation error to DA or Court politely. It might go well.

Probably need to read the Citation. But that usually means you were not driving with a DL on your person when stopped.

Hire an attorney to bring you to Court without being on the Docket. Then take care of everything at once.
Also, the cop pulled me over for doing 81 in a 55 but my car can't go over 75 and i told him that and have proof because of a few issues but it's still drivable obviously. Still gave me a ticket and his date is compley off its still for 2020, but it's 2022

Go to Court and explain your operation problems to the DA/Judge. Either you are guilty or it gets better. Have money to pay costs and fine.
