What happens in Traffic Court

[betsykeller]

My daughter had a traffic violation, and I told her we should go to court so she should see what happens. I really believe that she was innocent. We got there, and the prosecutors first put you in a side room and review what they have, but don't really give you anything. Tell you if you challenge it, it will cost you more in the long run. And then ask you to choose, even though it's not really a choice. The judge did reduce the fine and I paid it for her because I felt she didn't deserve it. At the same time, it was a learning experience for her and taught her the real world as it stands. The courts aren't for you, they're stacked against you for sure.

Bottom line is, blah blah blah give us money! That all that court really is.

[starscreen]

For me, they dismissed it but gave me a a court cost that was equal to the ticket. These motherfuckers getting money no matter what, guilty or not.

She is not going to go to heaven after she passes away.

[scrapeyhawkins]

[DavyDoo]

Criminal cloaked in a black robe, telling ya lies, just to make it easier for her to fleece ya!

So, if I am in a quasi-criminal court and I lose, may I pay with my quasi-checkbook?

Never plea it’s a scam . All ways ask for the injured party to come forth.

What happens in traffic court? The officer will tell his side of the story and you will tell yours then the judge will convict you based solely on the officers testimony without any other evidence. You will then pay the fine and have points assessed on your record which will increase your insurance premiums for several years if you were foolish enough to hire a lawyer you will have to pay him too. If you want to appeal you must pay more fines even though you have a right to due process and you will have to pay for a court transcript. I can't speak for other states but in new york city they won't stay your order even though you have a right to due process. No one will know about what occured during trial the judge will continue to convict people based soley on officer testimony you can't sue them because of judicial immunity. The police officer will go on to continue pulling people over and if they lied during your case please rest assured that they have lied on many others before you and will continue to lie about many others after you. You will never know if they were caught in their lie maybe someone had dash cam who knows. Basically the system is a scam by the judicial branch and the state to generate revenue for the state and until it goes to the Supreme court if they will even take it it's going to keep happening.

Im 20 and i was in an collision where i was guilty. I feel like my life is done for now that it is in my record. Luckily no one was injured but i really wanted to get into trucking and now i fear they wont accept me ;/

[OvisHerder]

How about some more information when pleading not guilty? What steps follow upon that court appearance. What does resdy to go mean exactly? Thanks.

The discretion of fine amount is what she must love and makes it suspenseful if she’s handling your citation. Don’t you love you have to pay the citation amount plus what she decides on top of court fees. I would enjoy her job :-)

[JackSpeed]

she should be a voice actor. really clear and easy to understand

[BILLUPS]

Don’t you love how she conveniently left out a challenge of the court’s jurisdiction to hear the matter? Prosecution of Traffic “offenses” in Illinois are brought under a criminal jurisdiction, sometimes for petty offenses the court will tell you it’s a quasi-criminal jurisdiction (which does not exist in any rule of procedure I’m familiar with). No violation of a state statute where there is no actual injured party can be considered criminal; however, the courts trick people by the thousands each day.

Stand before the court in propria persona under the common law by SPECIAL APPEARANCE (look that up) and move the court to dismiss the matter(s) without prejudice for lack of jurisdiction seeing there’s no actual injured party, no corpus delecti, no case, no crime. The proceedings must be over an actual controversy between two like parties (I.e a man/woman and a man/woman).

I have three tickets for traffic violation. Two were from red lights (they were right next to each other) and one was because of proximity to a moving ambulance. I fled what I thought was going to be a carjacking (late at night in the worst neighborhood on the south side of Chicago) The officer said it wasn't an excuse. I'm not really sure what to do other than go to the court date, plead not guilty, and give my side of the story.

[JohnAdams-muxd]

These are a complete scheme and operate completely administratively there is no injured party nor will you ever know whether this is criminal or civil.... Dismissed for uninforcable colorable action...

[haleygarcia]

If I am going to court for my third speeding ticket within a year, what are the chances I get jail time, and how could I possibly avoid that ?

[PrivatelyHanging]

This is deliberate fraud being committed by this Woman. Administrative court require a contract with given full disclosure. Deceitful acting requires disobedience...
