Well, first of all, it depends on what state you live in.\nIn California, you can go to court without a parent if you are 18 years old on or before the court date, otherwise you have to go with a parent.\nMy court date was 3 days before my 18th birthday and I had to go with my dad.\nAs for the court itself, it really depends on what type of judge you get.\nWhen I went, they basically asked me what happened exactly at the time I got caught and the series of events that took place. What else they say depends on how the judge is feeling that day, I guess.\nThe first time I got a ticket, I basically got yelled at for being out of school in the first place.\nThe second time the judge just calmly told me that after school was the time I should be hanging out with my friends at the park, instead of during school. haha.\nAnyway, it depends on the judge and they will usually tell you not to do it again and you will get a small fine (between $35-60) and 20 hours of community service, in which you have 3 months to do. (At least where I live you do; your city might be different.)\nHope this helps ;)

You usually get a warrant for failure to appear. If you have a good reason for not showing up(like you were in the hospital or your child was in the hospital) they will sometimes revoke the warrant and give you another court date. If you just forget.....then you probably have a warrant for your arrest.

no, call your probation officer, and if you can't make it back on time for court make sure you notify your probation officer if you don't you can be arrested for failure to appear in court

http://www.wycokck.org/gen/wyco_generated_pages/District_Attorney__Truancy__FAQ_p229.html\n\nThat's for Wyandotte County, which is Kansas City, KS, but the laws given are for the state.\n\nIn KS, all children age 7-18 are to attend school everyday. The Kansas State law specifically says that a student is truant if they have missed 3 unexcused/unverified days in a row, 5 unexcused/unverified days in a semester, or 7 unexcused/unverified days in a school year.

You can contact your local court clerks office and they can tell you if you have to appear or if you can just pay the fine. Sometimes in juvenile matters the judge will allow you write an essay in stead of paying a fine. good luck

You will be able to find more information on the back of your ticket, such as the address to write to, phone numbers to call, etc.\n\n(You didn't mention your home state, the state the ticket was issued in, what the offense was, or anything else really, so I can't help you further, sorry...)

It's called Failure to Appear and the result is quite simply that a bench warrant is issued for you.  If it's a big city, chances are they won't come looking for you at your house, but if you get pulled over for any reason and they run your license, you'll be arrested on the spot and then things get much worse.  I missed my court date for littering in college (just forgot all about it) and they came to my dorm and arrested me.  They let me go once we got the jail and it was a smaller city, but they did come to me, so it's really hard to say.\n\nIf you missed your date, call them - get it taken care of.

Definitely do tell people about it! My daughter was bullied at school, and hated life until she was moved. Talk to the school, BUT if they do nothing, then go right to the state teaching board (not 100% sure how things work in the US) but if the school does nothing, go right over their heads. My daughter had proof that this other student had stolen her wallet, yet the school didn't want to know about it, or the many other ocassions.

Rebeka M,\nI'm not kidding, you are looking at jail time if you don't make good on those tickets. One day someone is going to knock on your door with a warrant for your arrest, I'm not kidding. They will only give you so much time to show up and then it's to late. Hope you have a good excuse to give to the judge. Take care of those tickets now as soon as possible.\nTDCWH

I am a little unclear as to why you have a violation.  You said you had no transportation... to what?  Did you miss a court date or appointment with your P.O.?  Either way, don't bother telling the judge you didn't have a ride.  \n\nOne of the main purposes of putting someone on probation is to give the individual an opportunity to be come responsible (and law abiding).  \n\nIt is possible that you will get a little county jail time, however, if it's your first violation you most likely will end up with just your ass being chewed on a little.\n\nGood luck...............by the way, you DO HAVE A RIDE TOMORROW, RIGHT!

Usually a "failure to appear" warrant will not result in jail time unless you have many prior failure to appears and they can show a pattern or if the failure to appear is on a serious felony crime or a crime in witch you are out on bail. Now either way it will be better for you to turn yourself in. However do not turn yourself in on a friday as this may result in sitting in jail until monday. Also I would call the court clerk and try to reschedule an appearance before I turned my self in to show that you did make an effort. Oh yea it is also bad if the appearance is for sentencing. They really frown on ditching accountability. In addition by turning yourself in you avoid all the hassle of having your car towed away and impounded if you are pulled over while drving. Don't panic! Especially if this is a minor offense. The courts and jails are so jammed up with truly bad people they have no time or room to lock people up for minor offenses. Even if it seems really bad to you. I assume that it is minor because you don't seem to have much experience dealing with the law. I personally have been pulled over with a valid warrant and the officer just cited and released me. However I have also seen people get hauled in friday night and have to wait til the offices open up Monday morning to be released with nothing more than a new court date. Anyways good luck and stay low until Monday.

my school has 3 tardies equals one absence, and 7 absences gives you an automatic F in the course, no matter what. you can file appeals but they don't go through often. it's a terrible system, and people with passing grades can get screwed if they're late a lot and get a lot of tardies.\n\nif a student doesn't want to go to school, a strict attendance policy isn't going to motivate him.

truancy is a crime, so if you don't go to school, you can be placed in juvenile "jail" where you will get an education you didn't expect.\nRunning away, by itself, is not a crime, but where will you go?  who will protect you?  how will you feed, clothe and shelter yourself SAFELY?  If your parents are truly abusive, call your local crisis clinic and ask for help.  If your parents are just being strict, go with it.  Unless they are unfit (druggies, abusers, etc), they will have your best interests at heart.

And it doesn't look like they're much more help online either...\n\nhttp://www.wycokck.org/gen/wyco_generated_pages/Municipal_Court_m1894.html\n\nAll they supply is the phone number again!  I've checked around the page and found nothing.  Some municipal courts do allow you to look them up but it doesn't look like Kansas City Kansas is one of them.\n\nSorry\n\nThey do have a question and answer page on their site and say this about tickets:\n\n"How do I "mail-in" my fine?\nIf the amount of the fine is shown on the front of the ticket, you may waive your right to trial and enter a plea of guilty or no contest and pay the specified fine plus costs without appearing in court. Mail or bring in person a money order, cashier's check or personal check made payable to Municipal Court to Municipal Office Building, Second Floor, 701 N 7th Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66101. Enclose the carbon copy of the ticket, sign the waiver printed on the bottom back and pay the total amount shown on the front of the ticket. Write the ticket number (found in the upper right hand corner of the ticket) on the check or money order. This makes it easier to connect the payment with the ticket if they become separated. Payment must be received in the Traffic Violations Bureau before the court date shown on the ticket. \n\nHow do I pay a parking ticket? \nYou must pay the original fine or schedule a court date within 10 days. If payment is not received or a court date has not been scheduled, the amount increases by $5 on the 11th day and an additional $10 on the 31st day after the violation. If payment is not received or a court date is not scheduled, your vehicle may be subject to immobilization. Any person wishing to plead "not guilty" for a parking violation must call the Traffic Violations Bureau at 573-5200 for a court date."\n\nBill

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.

Two things check the local website for chicago under court, secondly you can contact local authorities where the ticket might be in.
