What is the name of your state? CA

i had fines for 2 speeding tickets that were not paid. i didnt go to court on the scheduled date, so i rescheduled twice for both of them, which i didnt go to. failure to appear warrants were issued.... so basically my questions are, when i reschedule court dates for both of the tickets, what could be my sentencing if i cant pay for either of the tickets ($1,000+ each)? what, if anything else, could i expect?

You miss the original date, reschedule not once but TWICE and blow both of those? You can bet the judge isn't too happy with you. You definately have a bench warrant out for your arrest, for multiple FTA and probably contempt of court. Not too bright, eh?

If you thought you couldn't pay those tickets, you now most likely have late fees on the tickets added to original amount. You better hope you will be able to work some sort of payment plan out with the judge.

Your a fugitive from the law. Go and talk with the D.A. immediately.

Not to mention that annoying license suspension that will result in the loss of any car he drives for 30 days.

Q: what, if anything else, could i expect?

A: Jail. Judges are very sensitive and get their feelings hurt when you do not respond to their nice invitations.
 
Jails are so over crowded, I really don't think you will do jail time at all. A felony yes, but this would not warrant jail time.

Anything else to expect? Well, I could say for fact that if you drive in Carl's town and you can be expected to be bust by Carl.
