Traffic court is a specialized judicial process for handling traffic ticket cases. In the United States,people who are given a citation by a police officer can plead guilty and pay the indicated fine directly to the court house,by mail,or on the Internet. A person who wishes to plead not guilty or otherwise contest the charges is required to appear in court on the predetermined date on the citation,where they may argue before the judge or negotiate with the prosecutor before being called to appear in front of the judge. Most prosecutors will not negotiate with someone who does not have a lawyer. The person may also request a trial by a written declaration in the following states:California,Florida,Hawaii,Indiana,Louisiana,Nebraska,Ohio,Oregon,and Wyoming. In the case of a trial by written declaration,the accused does not have to be present in the courtroom;they may just explain the reason to defense for the case. Officers are required to turn in their declaration. The judge will then make a decision based on the declarations and evidence from both sides. After the written trial,the accused is allowed to request a new in-person hearing if they are not satisfied with the outcome of the written trial,by filing a trial de novo request.
