What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Kansas
Oldest child (age 22) didn't know her father had stopped paying insurance on her car. Stopped for a "bogus" traffic violation (didn't receive a ticket for the stop--cop claimed she didn't stop coming out of a parking lot although no stop sign is there) however she didn't have proof of insurance so she recieved a citation for that.
Once we unraveled it all we realized her insurance was cancelled for non-pay in the beginning of August.
We called a local attorney and spoke with para who said an attorney couldn't help in any way. She would have to show up for court. She would be taken to jail and fingerprinted and photographed and then released. Not to then mention all kinds of horrible things like an SR-22, etc.
I believe this is the only time I have ever heard that legal representation won't help her at all.
So there really is no way out of this mess? She will have to to be taken to jail?
Any feedback is extremely appreciated.
She is going to law school in the spring and is of course extremely worried about this issue "haunting" her.
Thank you in advance!
