What is the name of your state? MA
Greetings
In February, I was pulled over for an expired vehicle inspection. I was given a simple a $50 fine. Fast forward to a few days ago, I'm pulled over again and told that my license was suspended as of last week due to payment default on that ticket. This was news to me as I hadn't received notification of the suspension from the RMV (the officer let me know that notification was a courtesy and not a requirement.) This was an oversight on my part, I freely admit that, so I'm not expecting to get off scot free, but I'd like to get an idea of what I'm facing.
I've never so much as seen the inside of a courtroom before, so I'm really not sure what to expect. I have no record beyond that stated inpection violation and a handful of parking tickets over the past decade or so. I'm aware that this is a criminal violation and from what I've read there is a provision for minimal jail time even for a first offense. Should I be concerned? Do I need to seek representation? Any knowledge would be greatly appreciated.What is the name of your state?
