Traffic Violations
Most traffic citations that are given out by law enforcement are considered civil violations. These include running a stoplight, speeding, making an illegal turn, crossing the street illegally, or a parking meter violation. The penalty for a civil traffic infraction is usually a fine. Additionally, points may be assessed on your driving record. An infraction is a non-criminal charge.
If you have Criminal Traffic or Misdemeanor violations included on your citation, you must appear before the judge on your scheduled appearance date.
Note: Failure to appear or pay will result in an admission of responsibility and judgment will be entered for the State.
