3 days to pay then WARRANT FOR ARREST on parking ticket???

[entouragefan999]

NY STATE.

I was in Norwich NY visiting a friend till about 5am. i was parked right outside his house in the street. apparently you cant park in the street between 2am and 6 am (which is not written ANYWHERE). Fine. I get the ticket and put it in my pocket. About a week later I decide to get around to paying it and figured the price would go up. I read it goes up after 3 days... weird, but times are tough I guess. Then I read that after 3 days A WARRANT FOR MY ARREST will be issued!!! HOLY SH*T!? Seriously? Is this even possible?

I am completely dumbfounded. I want to go in to pay the ticket but I don't want to get ARRESTED DOING IT!!!

What the hell do I do?

 

[You Are Guilty]

Give the money to your buddy and let him go pay it for you? A lot cheaper than paying a lawyer to do the same thing.

Could you mail in the ticket and check?

So you are talking about ignoring a summons to appear, and now are surprised they will issue you a arrest warrant?


You can go vacate the warrant, and bring the money with you, as well as the extra fine money. If you come to pay a ticket, your not going to be arrested. they just want their money.
