Almost every misdemeanor offense is an "either/or" proposition. Either a fine amount is specified or a jail term is specified. The offender (or the court) is given the choice of how it is to be levied.

Not necessarily. There are many degrees and classifications of Misdemeanor crimes. ANY violation of the law (felony OR misdemeanor) is, in theory, an "arrestable" offense, however in some crimes (i.e. - traffic offenses - minor possession - etc) they are handled by citations. It depends on the laws of the particular jurisdiction, the policy's of the law enforcement agency involved, or even the situation existing at the time the offense is acted upon by the law enforcement officer.

Absolutely. The trooper did not see the accident and has to rely on what he observes at the scene and statements from witnesses.AnswerJust because you were given a citation, it doesn't mean that you are at fault. Signing a citation it's an addmition of guilt, either. Go to court and fight the ticket, if you believe that it wasn't your fault.

That depends on the agency giving the ticket and where it occurred. Citation rates vary between cities, counties, agencies, and departments; and additional fees can be added to the citation if it was in an area such as a construction zone or or school zone. Generally speaking though, since the citation is for more than 20 mph over the speed limit, you will most likely be required to go to traffic court and the fine given there may differ from the standard rates.
