Will i still receive a citation if the police officer never gave me a paper ticket?

Question

i was cited for "disorderly conduct" and supposedly given a huge fine says the cop who pulled me over but he never actually gave me a paper to sign or a paper ticket. did i just get a scare or will i get a present in the mail?

Answer 1

you have to receive a summons or be arrested to face charges of disorderly conduct. this cop was playing with your head

Answer 2

If the officer was not just giving you a scare, you could receive a citation in the mail.  The officer could bypass the citation and file a complaint directly with the court.  Then, the court can either send you a letter to appear and answer the complaint, or they could issue a warrant for your arrest.

Answer 3

Probably not. If there was some reason, like he was out of citations, he would have told you what to expect.  

Answer 4

Call the court system in your area and ask them if you have a court date.  If you were cited for a misdemeanor then you must go to court, whether you received a paper copy or not.  If you were not actually cited then the courts will let you know.
