Ignoring a court order. And you will do time in a county jail.

How much money is owed to you? If it's a relatively small amount, $5000 or less, you can go to small claims court without a lawyer. \n\nAll you do is find out where the courthouse is in your area. (The post office or police station could tell you where to go.) Tell them who you're suing and for how much, pay the $50 or so court costs, and serve the person you're suing. \n\nIt's a simple process, so that's what I'd recommend if it's a small amount of money.

Pay the fine and the penalty.

No you do not have to pay. You can just tell them that that is a bit much and you would like to go elsewhere. Get your stuff back and go someplace else. I hope you do go some where else!!

Contact the SFPD, ask for the Parking Enforcement Division and see if anyone there can answer that.  I assume you don't want to pay it because you are fighting it and not just blowing it off right?  If you wish to contest it you will likely have to meet with a Hearing Officer and plead your case.  However I could be totally wrong, that is just how it is done were I am from.

This depends on state law, and the judge handeling the case.  Depending on these factors, you may be given extra time, a higher fine, or even jail time.

It depends on the state law, but I have served community service and it covered the entire fine.  He may be able to extend his community service to include the court costs.  If it is a punitive fine or for restitution he'll have to pay it.

It can go either way...a chance you take. The judge could lessen the charge or ammend it. Or if found guilty you could pay more including court costs, lawyer etc.... I would talk persoanlly to the officer who issued it first, before the court date and ask if he could help you out, provided you did not curse the officer out or spit on him during the traffic stop, or tell him he should stop eating doughnuts.

Depends on the state....in Texas for example, there is no cap on fines...and if you receive two or more citations during one year, the state will send you a bill for surcharges ranging from $100.00 to $2500.00.\n\nFighting the automated tickets can be tough; especially if you are guilty.  If in fact, you are not guilty, request a trial by jury.  If the trial ever happens, the juries are usually sympathetic to the camera cases.  In Texas, they were banned when a state judge received a ticket in the mail for doing 328 miles per hour in a 45 mile per hour zone in a Buick.\n\nThe best way to handle any ticket if you have a clean record, is to request defferred adjudication or request to complete defensive driving course and the offense will be dismissed.\n\nGood Luck and drive safe!

If it is just once, you just don't pay it and you'll be charged a fee, usually around $30 late payment fee.  If you're over the credit limit, they'll hit you with another fee for about the same amount.\n\nIf you can't pay it at all on an ongoing basis then you'll have significantly more trouble and will probably end up being sent to collections--if you get sent to collections then you may be able to negotiate a lower settlement payment.\n\nGood luck!

Consult the clerk of the court where the violation occured. You may have to pay a fee for the info.

This is considered petty theft\nYou will have to go to court and pay at least $250.00 in fines\nYou will also have to enroll in a Social Help Program attending at least once a month for 3 to 6 months and pay a $75.00 per visitation\nYou will not be on probation but this will stay in your record forever

Well I'm not in NYC but I would hope that it would take some time. Depends on how many they have to issue and if they're behind. I'm in Atlanta and went to court but I was late. Court was still in session but they told me that I would have to pay the fees as if I was paying a bond like to get out of jail or something. The fines were over a $1,000 and I just didn't have it. In order for them to give me a new court date I would have to pay the money. However, the clerk there told me it would take awhile before a warrant would be issued. That was in January. But if you weren't required to go to court then you don't have to worry anyway. Especially if it's nothing serious and just some fine needs to be paid. Like when I was in a park after dark. I just paid the fine and didn't go to court. \n\nOh, if you can't pay then when you go to court they can set you up on a payment plan(probation). I think you have to show up in court for that though. Best thing to do is have someone call,ask questions, and if everything's cool, give someone the $$$$$ so they can pay it for you. Just in case there is a warrant you won't go down there and get banged up.

You owe whatever the court ordered you to pay minus what you have actually paid.

If you don't go to court to deal with your current violation, the court will issue a 'bench warrant'. This means they are actively seeking you and will arrest you if you are caught doing ANYTHING including littering.\n\nIf you really want to avoid maximum jail time, go to the court and plead before a judge. Offer to do community service, acknowledge the offense, and most of the time the judge will be lenient. If you don't, you WILL eventually be caught and you'll get NO mercy from the court.

Its been a while since I've been in law enforcement; but its probably going to cost you about $2k in fines, your license suspended for 6 months, and I'm guessing 5 to 10 days actual jail time (or community service) plus a lengthy probation - probably informal.\n\nWhat the real penalty is that is not on the books is what your insurance company is going to do to you; it will cost you a $1000 a year for 5 to 7 years I'm guessing...maybe more.
