If you would like to plead "Not Guilty" and request a Trial by Judge or Jury, you may make your request by mail or in person within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of offense. If you request a Trial by Jury, there is a mandatory Pre-Trial Hearing you MUST attend. If you are making your request for a court date outside your fifteen (15) calendar days, you must appear in person and you will be required to post a cash bond in the amount of the fine for the violation for which you have been charged. You will NOT be placed on a court docket until a bond has been posted. Please note that appropriate attire is required in the Court Room. No shorts of any kind are permitted.
