FL Speeding Ticket Info:
Can I be arrested for not paying my speeding tickets?
It varies by the county or municipality where you got your ticket. However, not paying your violation will force the court to notify your Florida's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) that results in an instantaneous suspension of your driver’s license. And, again, a warrant for your arrest may also be issued. This does not mean that the cops will then be actively coming after you. Rather, this means that a warrant for your arrest will always appear on your record (even for employment background checks). However, if you commit another crime or even minor infraction, you will NOT receive a ticket you will be hauled off to jail.
What if I miss my court date?
Again, the location in Florida where the ticket was issued will influence the specific repercussions of missing a court date differentially. However, commonly, an arrest warrant will be issued and your license will not be valid, until you show up, pay up, and clear your name. Otherwise any other unlawful activity you engage in can result in much steeper fines and often jail time.
