I got a ticket in nyc for upm 221-05 ( i live in another state). This is my first run in with the law ( never had a parking ticket or anything). I'm over 18. They gave me one of those pink tickets and the fine is for $25 with the court date in november. It was a stupid mistake and I'm completely responsible, no excuses. So I would like some advice on what I should do. some questions:
1) I'm a college student with a job so would that be affected in any way? I know that it might but again idk about nyc laws.
2) will i be able to get this removed from my record and if so how?? getting a job out of college with a drug charge is near impossible.
3) Will mail be coming to my home from attorneys and what not? My parents finding out would be the end of this so I would like to avoid that. Is it possible I can call the number on the ticket and have them change my address to somewhere else? I have a apartment near school so would that work if I just call and say I don't live at my listed address and i never updated my ID?
4) anything else I should know or that is recommended?
Thanks in advance for reading. Any and all legal advice is useful to me!
