If there is one thing you should know about a MetroLink violation, it is that such a ticket is actually a misdemeanor. Most people are shocked to learn that, but the city and county have been cracking down hard on these types of violations, and are trying to prevent bad behavior.
The most common infractions would include: failure to pay the fare (i.e. evasion); using an expired ticket; eating on the train; or causing a commotion.
Pleading Guilty Is Not Your Best OptionAnd if you were to plead guilty to misdemeanor, it would become a part of your permanent record as a criminal conviction. Once there, anyone wishing to perform a simple background check will see it. And this in turn can cause quite a bit of trouble for you in the future.
But things do not have to go this route! There is a much better way!! Our main goal is simple: we would want to get the charges dismissed (i.e. thrown out). If we accomplish this goal, then you would obviously never have to worry about it again. But at the very least, we would get the ticket reduced to a lesser infraction (so that nothing shows up on your record).
