5. What do I do when I get a traffic ticket?

You are required to appear in court for a misdemeanor violation. For all violations, your court date/time/place is written on the bottom of your notice to appear/ticket/citation. Misdemeanor or Infraction will be circled on the right side of your notice to appear/ticket/citation.

In all infraction cases, you must do one or more of the following for each violation:
*Pay the fine (bail).
*Appear in court.
*Contest the violation.
*Correct the violation (traffic cases, when applicable).
*Request the traffic school (traffic cases, when applicable).
*Request trial by written declaration (traffic cases).
If you do not do one of the above actions, a "failure to appear" charge will be filed against you in warrant form (Vehicle Code 40508(a)) and your driver's license may be withheld, suspended, or revoked.

If you do NOT contest the violation:

*Pay the fine amount (bail). - Contact the court at (530) 245-6789. You will not have to appear in court. You will be convicted of the violation and it will appear on your DMV record. A point may be charged to your DMV record and your insurance may be affected.

*Correctable violations - If the "Yes" box is checked on the front of your ticket, the violation is correctable. Once you correct the violation, have a law enforcement officer sign the back side of your ticket. Registration and driver license violations may also be corrected at the DMV office. The violation will be dismissed by the court after the PROOF OF CORRECTION and payment of a $25 transaction fee are presented to the court, by mail or in person, by the appearance date.

If you contest the violation, do one of the following:

*Court trial - Appear at the court on or before the appearance date to request a court trial. This will be a future date when an officer and any witness will be present. You will be required to submit the bail amount.

*Trial by written declaration (traffic infractions) - Appear at the court on or before the appearance date to request a trial by written declaration. You will be given forms to allow you to write a statement and to submit other evidence without appearing in court. An officer will also submit a statement. You will be required to submit the bail amount.

A courtesy notice may be mailed to the address on the citation, indicating the required bail (fine) instead of appearing in court. If you do not receive a notice, you are still required to comply with the items above by the appearance date on the front of your citation.

You may pay in person, by mail or by phone (530) 245-6789. Make checks or money orders payable to Clerk of the Court, 1500 Court Street, Redding. Write your citation number and driver license number on the check or money order. Shasta County Superior Court Website

6. What kind of report can I make online and how can I report it?

To better meet the needs of the community, the Sheriff's Department has introduced a new way of reporting crime in Shasta County. Coplogic is an online reporting system which the public can access 24/7 to report low-priority crimes. This new and advanced program can take in anywhere from 10 to 30 percent of all reports without dispatching an officer.

The benefits of this program are:
1) Citizens have the convenience of being able to report crime on their schedule rather than waiting for a deputy to arrive.
2) Incidents that would otherwise go unreported are more likely to be filed; which in turn provides law enforcement with a better overall picture of crime trends.
3) Deputies are able to focus their time and effort responding to higher priority calls.

Using this online citizen police report system allows you to submit a report immediately and print a copy of the case report for free. A typical report takes between 10 - 20 minutes to complete. A computer with access to the internet and a valid email address are required. Crimes and incidents currently reportable online are:
~ Theft (petty) of property or credit card
~ Fraudulent use of credit card information
~ Vandalism (felony and misdemeanor) to property including vehicles
~ Harassing phone calls
~ Lost Property

In order to report a crime through this system you must:

*Be eighteen (18) years of age or older.
*The incident must have occurred within Shasta County and outside any incorporated municipalities or townships. Exact location verification is required in the report.
*You have no suspect information.
*There is no physical evidence to the incident.
