My question involves traffic court in the State of: California
I am looking for advice on two questions: Any help ( even if its based on past experience is helpful ). I have really no clue of Courts and how these citations work.
1. June 05 / 2009, at around 12:xxPM I bought a 4 zone Cal-Train ticket from Santa Clara station (using my credit card), heading SFO. Time was so short, that I only picked the ticket and ran to get on the train. ( I did not pick the receipt. ) On the way back, I didn't realize that I had dropped the original ticket and boarded the train. Later when officer asked to show my ticket, I realized I have lost my ticket. And I was awarded 640(b)(1)PC fare evasion sitation.
Question: What is likely going to happen? Can my credit card statement showing proof of my Ticket purchase help? I checked with bank and they can also verify time of transaction.
2. The ticket has an entry no# 16 as follows:
WHEN: ON OR BEFORE THIS DATE: 7/13/09 TIME:-------
I went to the Santa Clara Court-house (as in #17 it states WHERE: SC2, which is Santa Clara) and the clerk said, she still does not see/have any information of my ticket. What can happen if this date (July 13) has passed and the clerks keep telling that they have no information of this citation. Now I am also attempting to be at the court within the given time. How likely is it possible that some one later create another charge on me, something like "Failed to Appear within time". Is there a way to avoid it and get it straight.
