Shasta County Traffic Ticket Experts

Shasta County Traffic Tickets

Shasta County is one of the most beautiful spots in California with Shasta Lake, Lassen Peak and breathtaking views that attract thousands of visitors. Unfortunately, a traffic ticket can spoil an otherwise immaculate day for a tourist or create a hardship for a Redding or other Shasta County resident.

What Happens if I challenge a Traffic Ticket?

If your ticket is an infraction, no court appearance is necessary and you can request a court date by phone or mail to the Shasta County Superior Court to the phone number or address on the citation. For misdemeanor or moving violations, a court appearance is mandatory to enter a not guilty plea, after which you will receive notice of a court trial. You do have to deposit the fine amount as bail, which will be returned if you win.

• Do Trial by Declaration instead of a court trial. You state the reasons why you did not violate the ordinance or vehicle code section and may submit any documents to support your argument. The officer also submits a statement in rebuttal. If you lose, you have 20 days to request a court trial or forfeit the bail as your fine. Other costs may be added. The majority of Trial by Declaration matters fail.

• Your other option is a court trial, unless your violation is a DUI or other misdemeanor in which you are entitled to a jury trial. Most people schedule a trial hoping the ticketing officer will not appear and your case dismissed. It does happen but not all that often. If the officer appears, most people will concede and pay the fine and costs, attend traffic school if eligible, and accept any other consequences.
