Question

I have a traffic ticket i never took care of can i walk in the court house and pay it? and what will happen?

Answer 1

Call and ask and get all the details before you just walk in because you could be arrested on the spot and that would your day very bad.

Answer 2

Go to the courthouse and talk to the clerk.  He/she will gie you info on your options.  If it is a severe offense or been a long time, I'd get an attorney and him/her take care of it.

Answer 3

Depends on the date you got it on. where i live you can just walk in the court house and pay it and leave but it has to be in the first or second week of you getting the ticket. and nothing happens they just give you a recite

Answer 4

you can always call the courthouse first and see if they still have it on record or what is going on with it. you run the risk when you go in of maybe being arrested if there is a warrant because you didnt pay the ticket on time. I would call first and see what they say. depending on how long it has been and if you ignored any notices they sent you will determine how much it is and if you walk back out

Answer 5

I would call them and see if there is a warrant for your arrest.  see if you can mail them payment.  or when you can come in and take care of it.  either way, call them first.

Answer 6

Send some one else to pay for it in case you have a warrant because if you go they will arrest you.It happened to me before I got arrested for not paying a ticket on time.Even thought I was released a couple of hours later but its just the hassel you go thru.

Answer 7

You probably have to get your bench warrant recalled.  Might have a failure to appear.  Call first

Answer 8

Depending of the severity of your offense....you can have a late fee that adds up day by day worst from what I heard is a warrant for an arrest (jail time). Again depends on the offense but also how long past due it is.
