The general circumstance does not sound legal.  I would go to court and dispute the way this was handled.  By the way, what is an "OWI"?

You could try, but it will probably just cost you more money in court costs in the end anyway, from experience I have learned that you could have all the evidence in your favor, and the judge will still side with the police, at least your car was not damaged and was in piece when you gt it back. I had mine towed unlawfully recently, and they really fucked it up!!!! Good luck!!!! I hope you don't live in Illinois, if so don't EVEN bother trying to fight it, no contest!!!!

Look on your ticket the officer gave you. All the contact info should be on it. Call them during normal working hours with the reference number/ticket number and they'll tell you how much to send and where to send it. First ticket?

The police departments hold those tickets till the paper truns yellow and they still hope they can catch you so they can give you another one and then charge you for the one that turned yellow on them.

It will not be mailed out again.  What happens depends on what you were summoned for.\n\nIf it was for a traffic ticket, a warrant for your arrest will be made. There should be an address on the ticket.  You could contact them that way.\n\nFor anything else, the findings for whatever you were to appear for will granted in the other party's favor.

It was raining one evening and my wife and I went to the drug-store. I pulled up front, into a handicap parking space to let my wife out. I was then gonna back up into the space directly behind me until she came out. When I looked in my mirror a cop was blocking me in. He walked up and sid, "you're not supposed to park here...I said,"I wasn't parked, I just let my wife out because of the rain. I showed him that it was in reverse, and it was still running. He said, he had been there for 20 minutes and so had I. I said that it was impossible because I had just gotten off work ten minutes before..I still had a computer chit to verify that. I tried to show it to him, and he slapped my hand and told me to shut-up. he said that no matter what I said I was going to get a ticket... so when I got my license, insurance and registration out I also handed him a pen and said hurry up because we are both keeping a handicapped person from parking here now. His face got really red and I could tell he wanted to say something. Then my wife came out of the store in her sheriff's office uniform (she is a 911 operator). After seeing this he said why didn't you tell me you were the police.I said, If you've been here 20 minutes then you would have seen here get out, so who's really being dishonest here. He handed me my paperwork (no ticket) and walked back to his car without saying another word.

you should have went in those 30 days and more and likely that is what a judge is going to say. he is  probably going to make you pay the ticket anyway plus court fees so if i was you i would just pay the ticket.

the most easy thing to do will to go in to the police station that gave you the ticket they will have a copy and if they dont than you do not have to pay it because then it dose not exist. or if it is something little you can see if they will just let you off cops do listen to reason

Try to go to a ticket broker because if you're caught buying a ticket from a scalper (and if he's undercover cop).  You will be doing time in jail.

Of course.  Keep in mind, the policeman pulling you over makes it a moving violation, points on insurance and all that.\n\nThe camera ticket merely civil.  They can fine the owner of the car, but they cannot establish who was driving it.\n\nYou should not receive two tickets, the police ticket supersedes the camera one.  If you get both, you should be able to get out of the camera one.

It is when you are not arrested for your alleged crime.  An officer writes you a ticket and allows you to return to court on your court date.  It all depends on your condition and your attitude if they will cite and release.

It's my understanding that you have to be given the ticket at the time of the offense - either handed to you or attached to your car.  If this doesn't happen, you cannot be sent one in the post - it is invalid according to the law.  I have a friend who has used this defense a number of times and it has always worked.

I am also one of the unlucky people who got caught!!! I was doing 34 in a 30 zone, in my boyfriends car.\n\nThey sent a letter to the owner of the car asking them to either admit or provide details of the person who was driving at the time. In my case my fella filled it in with my details and sent it back then the same form came back with my details asking me if I was the person driving. I sent it back, then about 4 weeks later I got a letter asking me to choose either £60 fine and 3 points on my licence or £65 fine and attend a speed awareness course. I have opted for the speed awareness course and I will be attending it tomorrow!!! \n\nI think it depends on how fast you were going and how many driving offences you have previously had as to whether they offer you the course and how much of a fine they give you.\n\nBecause the excess of the limit that you were doing, they might give you a bigger fine and not even give you the chance to attend a course.\n\n(If you keep this question open til Wednesday i can let you know what to expect on the course!)\n\nSo I asked on the course about being offered the course rather than getting stuck with the points. Apparantly the different areas and counties have different rules as to who they will offer the course to. In my case, the course was only offered to the people who were speeding in a 30 zone in Northumbria. In other counties they also include 40, 50 and 60 zones. They also have a cut off point, at which even if they usually offer the option of the course, they will just issue you with points. I asked what our cut off point was and it was 36mph.\n\nI think because of your excess you will not be offered the option of the course and will be stuck with the points! Sorry hun, I hope this has given you a bit of an insight as to what will happen.\n\nDon't sweat about it too much, although you could follow my line of thinking and get a road angel!!!

true story - I actually found several $50's and $20's in the street durring a rain storm and took to police station.. 90 days later I got to keep the money as it was unclaimed... I assume the person lost a lot more becuase the money was going down the street in the rain water river and down to the drain.. there must have been more but I missed it.. it was near 2 banks

*Chuckling* I actually dun get speeding tickets, tis one of the handy things bout wolf instinct. I can usually tell if there is a patrol car (or camera speed monitor) nearby by the way others drive and I let what I call a "lame duck" (someone in more of a hurry than me) go ahead of me while I follow at a reasonable distance. They tend to get the ticket instead. Heh, evil I know, but not my fault they they were speeding and got caught...\nGood advice on how to avoid the ticket when pulled over is here http://www.askmen.com/fashion/how_to_100/147_how_to.html\n\nNow first off if you are busted by camera, give it up, you won't win. Courts tend to put great stock in the automated speeding monitors.\nIf you are pulled over and do get a ticket, this means you gotta go to court to fight it, but police officers do not have the time to go for every ticket they write. So they cannot refute you in court and if you prove reasonable doubt, you can get out of it.\nBut if the officer is there, well you got a problem and it becomes more difficult to win.\n\nIf you decide to fight it in court, a good site with a lot of free (not all, but a lot) information is http://tipmra.com/sample/tipmra_sample.htm\nI can tell you the last time a friend got one was by the radar gun, which is easy to refute as loose tools in the trunk is well known to foul up the readings.\n\nAnd finally I leave you with this lil tidbit...\nHow To Get Out Of A Traffic Ticket!\n\nA police officer pulls a guy over for speeding and has the following exchange...\n\nOfficer: May I see your driver's license?\n\nDriver: I don't have one. I had it suspended when I got my 5th DUI.\n\nOfficer: May I see the owner's card for this vehicle?\n\nDriver: It's not my car. I stole it.\n\nOfficer: The car is stolen?\n\nDriver: That's right. But come to think of it, I think I saw the owner's card in the glove box when I was putting my gun in there.\n\nOfficer: There's a gun in the glove box?\n\nDriver: Yes sir. That's where I put it after I shot and killed the woman who owns this car and stuffed her in the trunk.\n\nOfficer: There's a BODY in the TRUNK?!?!?\n\nDriver: Yes, sir.\n\nHearing this, the officer immediately called his captain. The car was quickly surrounded by police, and the captain approached the driver to handle the tense situation.\n\nCaptain: Sir, can I see your license?\n\nDriver: Sure. Here it is.\n\nIt was valid.\n\nCaptain: Who's car is this?\n\nDriver: It's mine, officer. Here's the owner's card.\n\nThe driver owned the car.\n\nCaptain: Could you slowly open your glove box so I can see if there's a gun in it?\n\nDriver: Yes, sir, but there's no gun in it.\n\nSure enough, there was nothing in the glove box.\n\nCaptain: Would you mind opening your trunk? I was told you said there's a body in it.\n\nDriver: No problem.\n\nTrunk is opened; no body.\n\nCaptain: I don't understand it. The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn't have a license, stole the car, had a gun in the glovebox, and that there was a dead body in the trunk.\n\nDriver: Yeah, I'll bet the lying s.o.b. told you I was speeding, too!

Contact the folks at city hall.  They can either tell you if you do have an outstanding ticket or give you a good contact at the responsible agency.  Hope it helps.

You can get an attorney.  They often can make the situation better.  You can also prove your innocence.  Have photos, diagrams, etc. showing exactly why you didn't really deserve the ticket.  But i'm betting you did deserve the tickets.  Get an attorney is your best bet.
