3 year old "open container" ticket in New York, didnt go to court or pay, can I take care of it now?

Yes, you can pay the ticket without going to jail.  Call the clerk of the court in the county in which you got the ticket and explain the circumstances.  It will take you a while to get through and they won't be very friendly, but eventually you'll get the information you need.

If you go to court plead no contest.  That way you are not admitting guilt, but you are not contesting it either.  Unless you can absolutely prove you weren't going that fast chances are the ticket won't be reduced or withdrawn.  Plus you would still have court costs of top of the fine.

In my state, I have contested each and every ticket I got. I always had it dropped, just because I showed up in court, or put my excuse in writing...\n\nGive it a try, you have nothing to lose

Well, kiddo you should have taken care of the fine right away but, since you did not you will have to suffer whatever the law states in your particular circumstance.\nTurn yourself in, if you have the opportunity to go before a judge that would be the best option. If you have a clean record other than that you may get by with probation & a fine.\nGood luck.

No. depends on how bad your driving record is.  Obviously, you probably had multiple tickets & hadn't paid them.

<grin>\nThey give the ticket away for free, it the fine that expensive\n</grin>\n\nIf was $2 but I heard they raised it to $50 in 1998, not sure what it is now.

go and fight it. Ask questions to the officer who wrote it, do you remember that day when you wrote that ticket? Or say to the judge, this ticket is so old that there is no point of having this case because of lack of proof.

Yes indeed. the officer can cite you later. The legnth of time depends on the state you were pulled over in.\nIn New York it is up to 90 Days.

You  would need to return to court and revisit the judgment, which seems to have been rather harsh. If you live in a different state/jurisdiction now, you could approach the DMV directly. Indeed, you might inquire of the DMV whether the order made was legal when made, and is legal now. Judges cannot invent driving bans: they have to find them in the law to apply.\n\nBut we don't know where you live, do we, so I can't do your research for you. Furthermore, revision of judgments and orders in juvenile cases us jurisdiction-specific, but generally liberal. Expungement or amendment of such a long-term order is not unlikely. It would be best to do this through a lawyer or, failing that, a charity. There are procedural technicalities you could find frustrating; also it's a bad idea to plead your own case if you're dealing with a court and not the DMV.\n\nWhatever you do, don't drive unlicensed (or in your state of conviction without permission from the DMV while licensed elsewhere). To do so is to drive uninsured, which is a further offense. And potentially a tragedy.

You can contact your local court clerks office and they can tell you if you have to appear or if you can just pay the fine. Sometimes in juvenile matters the judge will allow you write an essay in stead of paying a fine. good luck

A violation of order can be issued that will summons her back to court.  If she does not return to court, either a judge can rule against her and Social SErvices may take the child, or the judge may issue a bench warrant to bring her back to court to answer the summons.\n\nAll states are different of course, this has just been some of the cases I have seen in New York.

<>1.  I don't know what you mean by "Civil Infraction ticket" but if you were cited for speeding, then that's what you'll be fined for.  The judge can't "change" it into anything else.  2. You probably cannot get out of the ticket for a wrong birthdate, since there is probably sufficient info to track you down.  If the cop wrote "Actual Radar 100" then that's your speed...he didn't give you any "break" like he promised.  You might want to consult a lawyer to help you decide how to deal with this.  Points will most assuredly raise your insurance!\nJust saw your additional Qs:  You can try to schedule for when he is "unavailable" but it might come back to bite you.  If he doesn't show up and you request a hearing, it might get thrown out.  And I'm not sure about the jury trial...it depends on your jurisdiction.

Depends on how much the ticket is.  Seems like you have a good case, weather or not you can tell your side to the judge. Sometimes, you talk to a person before the court and they make recommendations.  If you want to fight, write your facts down before hand and go for it. Otherwise, if it's not too much $$, write it and the experience off. Sorry, to hear your situation, doesn't sound fair from your side.  Best of luck

Not all cities turn thier traffic offenses into the national or state data bases.  don't know why but they dont'.\n\nAnd often while it would show up, a ticket over 3 years ago is not normally taken into consideratioini.\n\nAnd then on the 5 month old ticket, often it can take months for some departments to show thier convictions onto the state system.\n\nso it is possible, he did not worry about a 3 year old ticket and the other one is not in the system yet.\nwith court backlogs, I have seen it take 5 months to a year for some courts to enter the information into the state system.

You can't postpone a traffic violation. You can have it reset, but that consists of you showing up for the original court date and requesting it. I'm am unsure of the laws in NY and on if you can do it yourself or if you need to obtain a lawyer to do it for you. Good luck.

Depending on what the first one was meaning the charge.  It could be dropped to a wreckless Operation charge if the first one wasnt.  Other than that, you will probably spend some time, pay a fine and enter into some type of drug and alcohol counseling.  GET A GOOD ATTORNEY!
