Are you trying to figure out what to do about your MetroLink violation? Did you know that such a citation is not a regular ticket? Are you aware that St Louis treats this as a misdemeanor? Are you aware of what can happen if you plead guilty to such a thing?
Most violations of this sort are for things like using an expired ticket. Or boarding the Metro without first paying. Or for causing trouble, eating, or drinking. And the county / city is really starting to crack down on such violations. Which in turn means that more and more citations are being written up.
Pleading Guilty Is Not Your Best OptionTo most folks, this doesn’t seem like that big of a deal. So what if I receive a ticket for hopping on the train?? But what people do not realize is that this is treated as a misdemeanor offense. And the last thing you want to do is ignore and/or plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge.
If you would rather get this kind of ticket “fixed,” then you should give us a call right away! We have the ability to either get the citation reduced to a lesser offense (so that nothing negative shows up on your record), or get the ticket dismissed altogether.
Either way, that is far better than simply pleading guilty! So get in touch with us as soon as possible!!
