Traffic violation procedures
in Criminal and Misdemeanor Law ·
So, I’ve run into a bit of a situation—well, more like a little headache, really... I’m sure someone else here has dealt with something similar, but I’d love to get your take on this.
Basically, I’ve managed to find myself in a pretty ridiculous spot: I got slapped with a fine for riding public transit without a fare in the amount of $33, and—for reasons I won't even bother explaining because they're just "blah blah blah"—I didn't pay it right away. Time passed, the notices kept piling up, and now, finally, I've received an official notice from the municipal court😁
Anyway, I'm looking at a fine of $33 from the $33 court (haha!) and look, I *could* just pay it, obviously, but honestly? I don't want to—it's a matter of principle at this point. And according to this notice I got...
So, here are my three options: pay the fine, perform community service within three days, or serve three days in jail, hahahahaha (I mean, seriously, what?!)
I didn't file any appeals or anything, so now I've only got three days to show up at the courthouse, so yeah...🤣
Sorry if this sounds a bit scattered, I know I'm rambling
