I recently got a ticket in the city of hapeville GA? -

and have had the most unprofessional experience with the people in the court system I was late to my court appointment so i was unable to see the judge and they are acting like I didn t show up because i just didn t want to pay the ticket is $405.00 and there is no way that i can pay that in full and they say they do not offer payment arrangements i don t want my license to get suspended but it will because I don t have that kind of money. is it legal for them to do that is there anything i can do to fight this of do i just have to let my license get suspended. is there any one i can report them to?

most places would have a bench warrant for you for failure to appear and arrest you when you show up. then you would have to bond out or stay until the court date that they set. so, my suggestion is, find a way to get the 405. otherwise you may go to jail.

Sadly, all these answers are correct. You will have to pay. Avoiding it will only make it worse. If you had made it to court, the prosecutor/solicitor would have cut you a deal for a guilty plea, but now you re in trouble. No, they won t arrest you for failure to appear. They will, however, arrest you for the suspended license that you ll soon be driving on. Prepare to spend a couple hundred EXTRA dollars to get your license cleared/re-instated. From your current situation, that s all you can do.

This is all on you. There is absolutely no excuse for being late to court. Of course it s legal, you failed to show up for your court date. You had your chance and you blew it. Pay the fine or lose your license. Borrow the money, take out a loan, sell some stuff. $400 shouldn t be that hard to come up with.

Dude you were late for court. No excuses. You should ve at least hired a lawyer to represent you. I don t know court s policy on late appearances but I am sure they don t take it on a good note.
