I am in minor in Arizona. I got a criminal speeding ticket. What are the possible outcomes?

calm down junior and slow down!!! Depending on where you got the ticket and other circumstances will determine the cost of your flight.  I-17 or a highway will get you points on your license, raise your insurance and possibly get you suspended or traffic school for a Saturday.  In a residential posted @ 25, you'd better hope that the judge and your parents aren't into corporal punishment, just kidding... If alcohol was a factor you could lose your license until you are 21 and severe fines.  Go to the DMV website and check or better yet place a phone call to your local officials and ask what to expect.

You can try to go to Court and dispute the ticket, but then most likely you will be saddled with additional Court Costs if you lose.\n\nIn theory, if any information on the ticket is incorrect, is should be void, but I  had a "seat belt violation" and even had my seat belt on and the Cop that wrote the ticket indicated that I was going North on a street that I was going East...there was not North!  The judge found against me as he said the cop had the benefit of the doubt and I ended up paying $250 for what might have been at $50 ticket.

States do share ticket info.  I have an AL drivers licence.  When I renewed it, they made me pay an outstanding 3 year old illegal turn ticket to AZ before they renewed my licence.  Damn computers.

Not signing the ticket would be most unwise. That is your promise to appear. If you refuse to sign, you get to go to jail right then and there for speeding. Yes, it's true. If you won't promise to appear, the State will make sure you appear, in jail right now.

Conversion is one thing. Pleading a felony down to a misdemeanor is another. You've already bypassed the plea process, and I doubt that Arizona Law is any different than my state.  Stay out of trouble, work where you can, and don't get your hopes up too high. A felony is a felony. You may be able to get it exponged, Seek legal counsel, or free advocacy. There is help available. Good Luck.

if you live in a big city, ask for trial by jury. most likely they'll be too busy and the judge iwll dismiss because the police doesn't show up. \n if you live in a small city, ask for defered adjudication. you'll pay the ticket fee, but it won't go on your history, and you'll be on probation for 6 months. don't get another ticket or both tickets will go on your history, tho.\n\nalways fight the ticket. the governmenet gets huge amounts of money because most people just pay the fine because they don't want the hassle.

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.

Traffic courts won't be able to see that you have a ticket in another state.  So, yes, you should go to court for the ticket because most likely they will reduce your speed to 60-something which will bring the fine down.

If you want a serious answer, this is it.  I have worked in Law Enforcement for 15 years and this is one of the more mundane types of contact the police have.  DON'T LIE!!!!!.  If you know you were speeding say so IF ASKED.  Be polite and don't make excuses, the officers have heard them all and know when you are lying.  Don't give the officer grief, after all this is his job and depending on how fast you were going you may have be a hazard to yourself and others.  A ticket is not the end of the world and in most places if you do not receive multiple tickets you can get it dismissed by taking a safe driving course.  Remember the roadways are for everyone so be safe and allow others to be safe also.  Good Luck!

Depends on the state and how fast you were going. We'd need to know those first. But I do know if your state uses the point system, you may be looking at a suspension due to the tickets.

Sorry you got caught, but I don't have much sympathy.  101 is congested nearly all day long and there is no excuse for going 80 or even 90.  You were lucky that your speed on the ticket was  decreased.  Next time, plan your schedule better to allow for more time for your journey - don't drive in such a hurry.\n\nAnyway, Santa Clara County's traffic court has a website you can check out your options.    You can handle some of the paperwork in the North or South County, or San Jose traffice courthouses.\n\nhttp://www.sccsuperiorcourt.org/traffic/\n\nIf your ticket permits traffic school (as noted on the courtesy notice) you can pay that fee and remove the violation from your record.  You can also take the traffic school online.\n\nhttp://www.scselfservice.org/traffic/pay/bailfortxt.htm\nhttp://www.scselfservice.org/traffic/oview/schooltxt.htm

If it's your first ticket, you'll probably get traffic school.  I would go to court and try to get the school.  Usually, it won't go against your record if you go to the school.  If it goes on your record, you'll be paying far more than $75 since you're insurance will likely go up.

been there done that...trust me if this kid can get a job any one can I use to be the queen of failures to appear on traffic tickets..\nmoved to ohio .. got a job wrote the judge.. asking for payments\non about 1500.00 in fines..tickets aint nothing ..your best bet is to lie on your application if they ask about tickets and stuff.. they usually only ask about felonys..most places dont check..traffic tickets etc.....

you need to call the court house they change from state state and even city to city.  Also if you are that polite when you show up in court and they see it is your first infraction they may even lower it more.  I was going 15 above and when i went to court they saw i had a long and good driving record and the judge lowered the speed and fine so less points would be taken off my license

If you have never been ticketed before, you could very possibly get away with attending a defensive driving school and not pay the fine. DONT count on this, this is the best possible senario. \n\nMake sure you go to court on your date, and plead guilty and the judge will probably ask you if you can pay it that day. Tell him that you can pay some of it, but not all of it and he will probably give you a date to have it paid in full. \n\nAnother option would to be to call the county clerk's office (the number is on the back of the ticket) and ask their advice before your court date. They could have another option for you. \n\nI have personal experience because I have received a couple of tickets myself. I think the most it will cost you is $150 but I am guessing on the high end. The most I have paid for one was $125 and that was to keep it off my record so it was more expensive than usual. \n\nYou won't go to jail over a speeding ticket as long as you show up for court and you finish paying your fine as it is arranged. \n\nGood luck. The judge will probably go easy on you if this is your first. Just get it taken care of!

They don't even do anything to the people that live in those areas who don't pay the fine. Those cameras are stupid. I remember hearing that Arizona law is that if you aren't served your ticket by an officer of the law the ticket is voluntary. After a period of time they will either pay to have you served (not you, you're too far away) and if they can't serve you they drop the charge.\n\nIf I were you I'd mail them back a photocopy of some cash. (Don't really, because then they can prove you were served)
