QUESTION
Will I have a warrant for missing my court date for a traffic ticket even if I mailed the fine money to the court?
Asked on Dec 18th, 2013 on Personal Injury - Rhode Island
More details to this question:
I received an expired registration ticket in a different county and thought my date was later this month. I checked the ticket to be sure and found it was set for today, but, I have my daughter today and no form of transportation to get to the other county. I plan to call the courthouse in a few hours to try and get it squared away. I plan to mail the fine money out today, but it obviously won’t be there until later this week. Will the court work with me, and if not, how likely am I to have a warrant issued for my arrest?

If you don't show up in court a warrant for your failure may issue. You cant just go round sending stuff in the mail and figuring that that will take care of your problem. hire you a traffic court lawyer and let him straighten it out .

Not if you mailed in the money in time for it to be received before the court date. If mailed or received after, you could have a problem.
