Yes.
In traffic court you can plead in the following manner: Guilty - Not Guilty - No Contest - or (in some traffic courts) Guilty With An Explanation.
A no contest plea means that you do not admit or deny committing the crime, but you are not going to fight the charge. If you plead no contest, you are accepting whatever punishment the court gives you, but you are not admitting guilt.
Guilty - Not Guilty - Nolo Contendre. The last being Latin meaning; I don't plead Guilty but I acknowledge that there is probably sufficient evidence to convict me. In juvenile courts the pleas can be 'Involved'" and 'Not Involved.'" Same as guilty and not guilty but it sounds nicer.
Typically, the officer won't show up on the first court appearance. You will plead guilty, not guilty, or no contest. If you please not guilty, the court date will be set up for the officer to show up. The officer gets paid his regular salary to go to the court date.
To plead no contest in a court case, you must inform the judge that you are not admitting guilt but are not contesting the charges against you. This plea is treated similarly to a guilty plea, but it cannot be used against you in a civil case.
To plead in a court case, you must formally state your response to the charges brought against you. This can include pleading guilty, not guilty, or no contest. It is important to consult with a lawyer to understand your options and the potential consequences of each plea.
if you are pleading not guilty you wish to fight the ruling i just went through this last month and i made the mistake of pleaing no contest and was found guilty before i could say another word
A moving violation, including a speeding ticket, goes on your record when you either admit guilt or are found guilty by the court. Paying the fine is considered an admission of guilt and it goes on your record when paid. If you neither pay the fine or contest the ticket by the date shown on the ticket you are presumed guilty and it goes on your record at that time. If you contest the ticket and prevail it will never go on your record. If you contest the ticket and lose it goes on your record at that time.
Depends on what you were convicted of incidental to the arrest (an arrest is not the same as a conviction, in which case you would have pled guilty or no contest, or been found guilty, in a court of law).
In court, you must either plead guilty or not guilty to the charges against you.
No, because you are still entitled to contest the fine in court.
The two words are not synonymous. A "conviction" is equal to being found guilty of a charge. An 'adjudication' is a fancy word meaning 'a court ruling.' That ruling could just as easily be Not Guilty as it could be Guilty.
