What happens when an officer lets you off with a warning?
When a traffic stop is made, a warning issued by the officer is a statement that the motorist has committed some offense, but is being spared the actual citation. Officers use their own discretion whether to issue a citation or warning.
What is a warning ticket in NC?
A written warning gives an officer the opportunity NOT to cause a fine being issued against you, or points against your driver’s record but does allow him to remind you of your failure to obey a motor vehicle law and perhaps even dangerous driving.
Should I be worried if I get a warning ticket?
If it is actually a warning ticket, then you don’t have to worry. A warning ticket is issued by a police officer when they don’t feel it is necessary to write a ticket for an offense.
What happens if you get a ticket with an expired tag?
The exact consequences depend on the officer or citation. You may end up with a grace period. Take care of your ticket as quickly as possible. Online services may cost extra money, but they save time on getting new tags. For example, the cost for expired tags in California is a $25 fee, plus a penalty.
Can a warning ticket be dismissed as a moving violation?
Be well. The officer probably gave you a warning ticket to be nice. With a warning ticket you have no court date and it is not considered a moving violation. If the ticket you have lists a court date and time then you should consult an attorney to see if they can have this dismiss for you.
What happens if you get a no registration ticket?
In practice, judges usually go even further than what the grace period allows and will dismiss a no registration ticket even several months after the grace period expires, upon proof of valid current registration. Remember that driving without valid registration is different than driving without valid insurance.
