Stop Sign Citation Violation in California
I've been reading all about stop sign citation violation , and I couldn't see any chance of me winning this case , my only question is , since I already paid the fine of 237.00 , what it can happen in my court date ? I will have chance to try to defend myself ? Also I learned that the referee in charge is very restricted , he wont let me talk .
Is there any chance to the officer no show up and have my case dismissed ? Sorry I'm totally lost .
Thanks

It depends what you did to "pay the fine." If you paid the fine and forfeited bail, your case is OVER. You were convictec and you won't even be called let alone allowed to testify.
If you submitted bail and indicated you plead (or intended to plead) not guilty and you show up for your trial, you can proceed as if you never paid the bail. The only difference is when you almost certainly will lose, you've already got the money on deposit to pay the fine.
If you submitted a TBD request, the appearance date goes out the window. Once you lose the TBD, you needed to have requested the TDN to get back in front of the court.
