Can you go to jail for a failure to appear in traffic court... If you are picked up and held until a court date will the judge likely sentence jail time or time served if you were held until court?
I believe that there are actually TWO questions here. The answer to the traffic court question is: No you won't - unless you were charged with a serious offense such as DUI or vehicular manslaughter or similar. If you don't appear the judge will find you guilty en absentia, and you will get the fine and the points. On the second question; if you fail to make dcourt because you are being held in jail on an un-related offense, it is unlikely that the judge will apply THAT jail time against the case you failed to show up for.
