If you fail to pay a traffic ticket/citation or to appear in court on the hearing date (or have your attorney appear on your behalf) the court may issue a warrant for your arrest—and may add the additional charge of failure to appear, which will include additional fines and other potential consequences.
In Minnesota, if you fail to pay a traffic ticket or citation, or if you do not appear in court on the scheduled hearing date, the court has the authority to issue a warrant for your arrest. This situation can also lead to an additional charge of 'failure to appear,' which can result in further fines and potential consequences. It is important to address traffic citations promptly and to communicate with the court if you are unable to attend a hearing. An attorney can appear on your behalf if you are unable to do so. Ignoring a traffic ticket can lead to escalated legal issues, including the suspension of your driving privileges.
