don't waste your time going to court to beat a ticket without a lawyer beside you. its cheaper and easier to just go to the clerk of the court's office before your court date and pay the fines. No fuss no muss and you don't have to see the judge..

Does a traffic ticket count as a conviction for a criminal background check?
Typically, a traffic ticket does not count as a conviction for a criminal background check. Traffic violations are usually considered civil offenses, not criminal offenses. However, certain serious traffic violations, such as DUI or reckless driving, may be classified as misdemeanors or even felonies in some cases, and these could potentially show up on a criminal background check. It is always best to check the specific guidelines and requirements of the organization conducting the background check to be certain.
What is the law of reciprocity?
Reciprocity basically just means fair sharing. In regards to the law, it can be seen in many areas. First, many states share information on traffic tickets, DWI/DUI, and other moving violations to keep your driving record up to date for purposes of fines/punishments for future violations. Second, in trials, there is discovery. This is essentially reciprocity in regards to all of the information for the trial. Both sides are required to share all of their evidence so that neither side can unfairly "surprise" the other side. Third, and this is the big one, the legal system is based on precedent. In theory, if one court rules on an issue in one way, all other courts in the same state (or federally in the case of federal or Supreme Court decisions) would have to hold the same. Hope this helps.
Do you have to go to traffic school in the same county where you got the ticket?

What is the penalty for driving on expired plates in Oakland county Michigan if if the total fine is not paid do you spend 38 days in jail what about payment arrangements?
The fine will vary by court; there are over a dozen District Courts in Oakland County, and I don't know which District you are in. 52nd District has 4 divisions, and the fines are not even the same in each of those divisions. Most of the courts' expired plate fines seem to be around $125 or $130, but if you were charged with a misdemeanor instead of an infraction it could more like $225. The fine should be written on your ticket; if it isn't, or if you've lost the ticket, you'll have to check with the court. Some Oakland County District Courts list the fines on their website, but not all do. Click the related link below to see all the Oakland County Courts, and scroll down to the District Court that has your case. Click the name of the court that's underlined in blue to go to the court's website, and look there for links to traffic fines. If the court website doesn't have a list of fines, you'll have to call the court. Many courts will allow you to set up a payment plan, but none of the Oakland County courts' websites mention that. Again, you'll have to call and ask. Court phone numbers are on the related link below, and they're also on the court websites.

Getting To Know Traffic Violation Law?
Traffic violations can be a huge hassle and they always seem to come at the wrong time. For people who have run into problems with the traffic law, you should know the repercussions of small miscues and the penalties for larger gaffes in judgment. Traffic violations, at least in the beginning, are relatively mundane and pose no threat to your record from a practical standpoint. There are some serious consequences for failing to take care of violations, though, so it is important to understand exactly what is expected of you when you have been charged with a traffic violation.Legal options for handling traffic violationsWhen you are cited with a traffic violation, the charge is something between civil and criminal. Some states run the traffic violations through their criminal division, but they are not handled like a criminal charge. There is no arrest for a basic traffic violation, but you do have some of the same rights as you would in an arrest situation. For one, you can choose to simply pay the fine and be on your way. This can be done either through the mail or in person. Others choose to go to traffic court to contest the fine, hoping to have it dropped or reduced.Many will tell you that going to court for the ticket is worth your time if you have the means to do so. The court will sometimes drop the item completely, and they will almost always reduce it if you have a decent reason for your violation. The smarter move, though, is to request a jury trial. You have to request a jury trial for your violation through a written statement, and it makes sense to do so. The other option is a bench trial, and judges are much harder to convince. The added bonus of a jury trial is that prosecutors don't like to pursue these trials, so they will usually cut a nice deal or drop the charge altogether.Failing to take care of the traffic violationsMuch worse consequences come when you fail to either pay or appear and contest your violation. When this happens, the court will have your license suspended in that state, and it can have consequences in your home state if you are not from the principal state. This will happen even if you are unaware of it. This means you could be driving down the road four years later and end up in jail over a routine seatbelt stop. This situation is not one you want to be in, so it pays to take care of the violation in one way or another.
