What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I got a minor in possession on my 20th birthday (im 23 now) in Santa Barbara county.
I never received anything in the mail about it, so I made a mistake and acted like it never happened.
I later got pulled over and the cop told me I had a suspended license, and I got a ticket for driving with a suspended license.
I was a full time student, did not make much money, and wasn't able to pay for my ticket.
I later got another ticket for driving on a suspended license, bringing my total of amount due to the courts to about $2,500. They told me as soon as I paid my fines my license will not be suspended anymore.
I finally just paid off the $2,500, and now the DMV is telling me I have to go to Santa Barbara to see the judge for the MIP I got 3 years ago.
Will they try and suspend my license for a year for something that happened 3 years ago?
What should I do? Just show up and plead guilty for the judge, tell him my story and hope he doesn't suspend my license?
